Where or where did this pattern come from?

 Hello :-)

I hope you all have had a good start to the New Year...
Unfortunately for me, I seen the New Year in and went straight to bed...I was so sick with the flu and it had to be when my lovey children went to visit their dad for the week....I was waiting a long time for a break too...   :-( 

Anyways, about a year ago my Auntie passed away...
As my mum was helping sort things out, she came across this very old Wall Hanging piece....I have hunted around but sadly I cannot find it to show you....(I haven't given up looking)..However, I did do an up-dated version of the pattern....The old wall hanger was put together with a lot of glue...
With mine I used thread and a bit of tape....
I would really love it if someone knew where the pattern (idea) came from?  I believe it's an old design as my Auntie had the wall hangers for a long time...

Over the holidays, it was my bestie's birthday...She's loves leapard print, so I made her a bag and a matching make-up bag to go with.....She was real happy....

 

********THINKING OF YOU*********

My prayers go out to everyone who has suffered from the effects of the floods....Nature works in very mysterious ways and unfortunately we will never work out why....I am so proud to be an Australian/Koorie.....It touched my heart in many ways when I seen how quickly this Nation jumped in to help so many people in need..

*************HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY*********
