I had a card to say I'd missed a postal delivery, so imagine my delight when I picked up this fabric covered parcel from the post office. It has come from India.
Fiona Wright, an Australian art quilter & travel organiser is helping women in her area of Pushkar, Rajasthan earn a wage from their stitching. Block printing is also supported & recycling of sari silk.
The scent of incense wafted tantalisingly out of the package when I opened it & beautiful brightly coloured squares of fabric spilled across my table. You can order on-line from Fiona & support Pukka Components. I'll be stitching with these lovely bits soon.
