The lovely and talented Amelia Critchlow is celebrating her forthcoming show with Artdog at this years Affordable Art Fair with a giveaway. Visit her blog to leave a comment and a chance to win tickets for two for the opening night. Amelia combines textiles, embroidery and collage to produce work exploring female identities and their relationship with the media, I really liked this one and I'm now lucky enough to have it hanging up at home. 
I've also made some flower brooches for the goody bags. These are a very good way of using up vintage flowery scraps, but I've enjoyed making these so much I think I will make some more to sell as well. 
I also need to pick a dog or cat to donate to the Handmade Cambridge raffle. The Blue Cross will be raffling off lots of handmade lovelies to raise money for their animal adoption charity - so one of my dogs or cats would be perfect! But which one should I put up for adoption! Its a tough choice. This is where I need your help. Have a look at my Fabric Nation folksy shop and leave a comment to vote for which cat or dog should be entered into the raffle. Everyone that leaves a comment with a vote on this post will then be entered into a draw on 1st April to win their own little Fabric Nation goody bag with one of my mini doggies, a brooch and gocco print. Happy voting!
