It’s Hunky Dory!

March 31, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 40 Comments

I am thrilled to have one of my quilt designs in the latest issue of Homespun which arrived in my letterbox today. It is a great project for beginners as it is goes together quickly and can be easily made from charm squares or layer cakes. It is the first time I have used charm squares. – I love the Hunky Dory range by Moda- it is so fresh and pretty.

It is lovely to be in a magazine with some of my favourite Aussie designers – Jodie, Jenny and Cheryl.

    OMG – just saw your piece in Homespun and dashed right over – glorious! and sooo loving the quilt! Well done, Lisa – just fantastic!

    Totally spooky, too, as Tina Snerling (Tiny Concept) is also in this issue – of course, she illustrated Handmade Living which has also been reviewed in this issue!

    What a talent-saturated edition.
