I hope you can keep a secret. This is a gift for someone special. It is hand stitched and quilted from little bits and pieces of hand naturally dyed fabrics. The last thing added to it was the embroidered maple key inspired by a beautiful photograph in sonia's flickrstream.

A wonderful gift for a lucky friend. Thank you for being such an inspiration. I really need to have a look at all my plant dyed and eco colour wool scraps with new eyes.
