NEW Egyptian Appliqué Patterns... Egyptian Cottons... Colours of Egypt...	Egyptian Appliqué Patterns Inspired by the work of the traditional tent makers of Cairo, I've just developed two Egyptian appliqué patterns. Make a single 35 cm block for a cushion or bag. Or combine four panels for a small wallhanging. A great way to use my quality Egyptian cottons - just like the tent makers! Coming in Popular Patchwork Our article about the tent makers of Cairo.

	How African Fabric Shop Supports Development in Africa Africa is very important to me and I travel there as often as I can to source new fabrics and beads. In addition to supporting small-scale craft producers, I'd like to give a bit more back to Africa by donating to small African charities. That's why I'm donating a percentage of all sales of the Safari Prints, Wild Skins and My African Village ranges to Send A Cow - a small charity that is really making a difference in poor areas of Africa.
