Back in the Groove…

September 27, 2009 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 63 Comments

School holidays have started here in Western Australia and we are looking forward to a slower pace of life over the next two weeks. I have spent a few hours in my sewing room this weekend, and have made a start on a new quilt.

I was inspired by Tonya’s wonderful quilt. I am using Amy Butler Midwest Modern fabric, with some Sandi Henderson Farmers Market thrown in for good measure. 

Hope to be back here soon with a finished quilt!
