We’ve all been saddened by the bushfires in Australia and the terrible toll they are taking on the land and animals. While some people are crafting for the animals, a more efficient course is to raise funds if you can or support causes that are supporting relief efforts.
For instance, Fiddlesticks AU has a pattern for a cross-stitched koala, which she sells for $2.15, with all proceeds on sales in January going to NSW Fire Service, Country Fire Authority VC and other relief agencies. (As of this writing more than $2000 had been raised!)
The pattern uses six colors and comes out to about 2.5 by 3.5 inches on 14-count fabric. Also, it’s just adorable and for a great cause.
