Custom Fabric Designs on Spoonflower

Happiest of Happy Mails...
is when your own fabric designs are delivered.

A few weeks ago I shared my first four custom fabric designs in this post. Truthfully... That post was not intended to be published when it was. I just forgot that I had it scheduled. And did not have much written about those pieces. And how happy I was to see my first designs on fabric!



These three new designs just arrived yesterday from Spoonflower. I can understand why so many quilters go into fabric design. We all LOVE fabric don't we? And who wouldn't want to see their name displayed proudly along the selvage of a fabric you designed yourself?




Well, Spoonflower doesn't provide you with that option. So on this Little Feathers yardage, I photo shopped it in! Hahaha!

Along with the Little Feathers, I also created an Ants print on a plain white background.  These little crawlers are here to invade your summer picnic.  But they don't eat much.




Some of those ants are larger than others, but they all seem a little lost.

The third design is called Gobble D Gook. It is a text print of random strokes in a typewriter style. But there are a few hidden gems that can be read if you look closely.





My sassy daughter Erin is listed.

And a few other favourite words....  Like QUILT. Of course my son Russell had to be included. But not too close to Erin. They get along very well if each is given their space.





Looking to add some low volume to your stash?

Ever since I saw Lara's cookie fabric, and then her Christmas wreaths, I have thought, I should do this...but I haven't although I did go and poke around a bit...I need to be much more computer savvy methinks...that and patient and okay with losing out on sewing time...I absolutely love your designs, ants (shiver) and all. So unique. Love the hidden words!

Vera said...

Fun! I especially like those hidden words :)

Pam @ Quilting Fun said...

Great fabrics. The ants are so cute! And the arrows only show up is you are close, very clever. Congratulations! Love the photo shop.

pollyanna said...

Those are great fabrics. I have just bought a bunch of half yards of black and whites for a new quilt. I had been buying reds and black and whites and black and whites for a while for a RBW quilt. Finally found a pattern I wanted. And I have to say I love those squirrels up at the top of your page :)

Patty said...

isn't spoonflower great? I've done some small fabrics myself . I like that you hid their names.

Cheryl said...

I love your designs! I just love text prints and your typewriter style black on white is wonderful. I think that we might be seeing your name on salvages for real in no time!

Doris Rice, The Quilting Queen said...

I love those designs! Very cute! Especially like the subtle words that make it so personal!

Lorinda said...

I can't wait to order from Spoonflower- I just have to get some designs off my sketchpad! :) I love that you photoshopped your name onto the selvedge!

Great selvage! And I love your designs. The texts and feathers are fun, but those ants take the cake.
