UPDATE 13 JULY 2020
Pattern removed from sale.

Thanks so much to all who purchased Shine $1200 was donated to Foodbank Victoria 13 July 2020 helping those in hard lockdown during the COVID-19 resurgance.

• UPDATE 8 JULY 2020* To help the folks stuck in hard lock down in Melbourne, I am resurrecting the Shine with Hope pattern for a very limited time.

100% of sales will go to Foodbank Australia who are helping by delivering much needed supplies to all in need at this scary time, especially those in hard lockdown.

It will only be available until Sunday 12 July 2020.

UPDATE 1 MARCH 2020: The pattern has now been retired and is no longer available for sale. Thanks so much to all who purchased Shine with Hope.
In January, $6,665 was donated to Red Cross Australia and in February $966.93 was donated to Greening Australia. Thank you!*

Australia is burning. Catastrophic fire events have taken lives, homes, towns, communities, wildlife killed by the billion, landscapes have been wiped out. People are completely cut off with no hope of escape.

And summer has just begun. These fires will continue to rage, new ones will start in the coming weeks if not months.

My small way to help is to donate 100% of sales of the Shine with Hope pattern. In January 2020, 100% of pattern sales will be donated to Red Cross Australia who can and are getting help to those in most need as soon as possible. In February 2020, 100% of the pattern sales will be donated to Greening Australia who plant trees to restore the natural environment.

I will post on my blog, social media and newsletters receipts for all donations as soon as I have them.

Thank you for your support at this terrible time.
