It’s the Little Things ….

May 31, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 18 Comments

…that bring the most joy.

  • Having the whole collection of DS Quilts Picnics and Fairgrounds (After stalking Spotlight for the past 2 weeks for the Australian only prints, I was so pleased to find them at Joondalup today).

  • Working on a new scarf in a lovely wool and soy blend

  • A new Book to read from the library

  • Practising my circular quilting, using a pattern from Fresh Quilting

It is rainy and overcast here today. I have had  fun playing with my new external camera flash – it makes all the difference!

Life . is . Good.

    I can see from your stack of fabric that a few prints were not available at my spotlight – I might have to do a bit more driving around. Love the scarf – there are a few making it at the mo and I might have to too!

    I was just having a look at your lovely stack of QP&F and I think I might have to go back for the greens! I also noticed I am missing a yellow, a red and 2 blue prints. Thanks for bringing the book to show & tell, your circular quilting is amazing.
