What Nikki says, “I love the embroidered badges and wanted to create something you could hang in your home to be seen all the time.  You could use any one of the different badges and easily adapted the same theme with different paper. I thought this would make a really sweet gift idea for a friend…or just simply change the sentiment, use your favourite quotation….there are lots of possibilities.”
