I made this brooch two days ago, slap bang in the middle of making a quilt. I literally looked down at a box of felt that I keep under the sewing table (obviously!), followed by a quick glance at a jar of buttons I keep on the window sill and that was it.

I started off assuming that it needed embroidery or embellishment of some sort. But once I lay the circles out next to each other, I realised that it's the complete simplicity that I like so much.

That, and the colours. These are what I call my Dungeness colours and they are the colours of my childhood.

 

On a different and quite strange note, I found out about this yesterday. Which I have to say is very flattering (if not a little random!).
