A Quilters Diary 2012

November 9, 2011 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 20 Comments

I was thrilled to discover that my “Pull Up A Pew” Cathedral Window Cushion has been featured on the cover of “A Quilters Diary 2012”. It is a lovely diary that features lots of inspiring quilty photos taken from this years issues of Homespun, A Quilters Companion, and Quilts from Pre Cut Fabrics.

Homespun currently have a special subscription offer which includes A Quilters Diary. It would make a lovely Christmas gift for a crafty friend.
