Snippets of Midwestern Modern

May 15, 2008 By Spoonful of Sugar - 20 Comments

After seeing a few bloggers recently reference Mosaic Maker, I decided to give it a whirl! Here are some snippets of a few little gift projects that I have been working on using Amy Butler’s Midwestern Modern.

    Beautiful – I love these new fabrics – I had some in my store but I sold them all before I could play with them – very dissapointing – will have to order some more!! – I love the big floral pink one – is it featured in her new handbag pattern “Birdie Swing”

    Hi There! Thanks so much for your sweet comment. You are my first international comment. I love the Midwest Modern fabric line & book. The book is actually sitting right next to me as I type! I’ll have to peek back to see the finished product.

    Really pretty fabric. Yeah there are a couple of restaurants at the marina but we’ve never been, to be honest that’s the closest I’ve been to the marina!

    Great colours. I love pink and orange. Reminds me of a retro Barbie dress I used to have.

    Love the mosaic and your beautiful work.
