True Up have an thorough review on Amy Butler’s Softwares CD. Link to review.

Amy Butler has two new free patterns. August Fields duvet cover and Nora’s Mid Mod 2 Quilt. Link.

I love the two new patterns from Amy Butler - the domestic goddess apron and the sun surf halter. Both of these patterns are very detailed in their instruction and contain full size patterns with several variations possible.

I love how Amy is expanding her pattern line – the new range of clothing is lovely in its simplicity of line and sweet details.

I’m a little bit biased as these girls are in Western Australia. I’ve been lurking for a while at The Cut Cloth wondering when their fabrics were going to be available. I received a newsletter from Duckcloth and aaah ha! They’re offering some of The Cut Cloth.

Don’t their fabrics work well with Amy Butlers Gum Drop pattern! Link and here’s Amy’s pattern.
