My 'BooBoo Buddy' made the top 10 last week!

Spoonflower started a new way of selling the top ten from the fabric of the week... 

Fat Quarter Bundles!!

Get a fat quarter bundle that includes the top ten designs from their most recent fabric design contest. Printed on lovely Kona ® cotton, their contest-themed fat quarter bundles are a  bargain. 10 fat quarters of 10 different designs would normally cost $110, but here they're offering it for only $60. What a deal!

This Spring Time Chick Will Make You Feel Better!

This week... BooBoo Buddy (a cut + sew critter and cover.) --This small pillow is filled with dried rice or corn. It can then be microwaved and used for snuggling or can be frozen and used on a 'BooBoo'.  The Spoonflower contest this week was to create a cut & sew pattern for a removable cover for one of these pillows. I chose to include both the pillow cover and the pillow in my pattern. The pattern fits on a fat quarter of fabric (21" x 18"), and it includes cut lines, seam allowances and directions. Voting starts on Thursday, February 21st, 2012.

When you are feeling hurt or sick...

This little Chick will do the trick!

...Warm him up or cool him down,

And BooBoo Buddy will erase your frown!

New Year... New fabric designs! This week Toile!!

More fabric to start the new year! Spoonflower asked designers to come up with a murder-mystery themed toile de Jouy. Previews sized as quarter yard(21" x 18"). Deadline for entry was Tuesday, January 15, 2013. Toile de Jouy is a type of design popularized in the 18th century that typically depicts a complex scene, often pastoral, arranged into a repeating pattern. Classical toiles are usually two colors, with white or off-white as the background color and the pattern printed in black, dark blue, or red.

My concept for these illustrations center around cats doing what cats do. These Bad Kitty's are not very good at covering their tracks, they even appear to be proud of what they've done! Voting starts today January 17th and goes through Wednesday, January 23, 2013!!
