I've made a new variety of needlebooks with my Spoonflower fabrics.  You can click here to see my Spoonflower fabric collection. A nature themed needlebook with a little chickadee perched on a branch with pen and ink feathers in the background.  These make fun gifts for quilters! You can click here for details   And a pink watercolor rose needlebook.  Very nice for Mother's Day if your mother is a quilter, needle artist, or crafter! You can click here for the rose needlebook details

I was very excited to get my fabrics from Spoonflower in the mail last week and was inspired to make some small things with it. I used my spring snippets fabric along with some of my other watercolor fabric in this needlecase. This zippered pouch uses the cabbage rose watercolor fabric. It printed out in large scale before I knew l could scale it down :) I didn't think I would like it big, but I like it sewn up. Like the big flowers. This is another one that was printed big and I liked the big flowers too. This was one of my first four fabrics. I am quickly getting addicted to Spoonflower. There's nothing quite like sewing with my own fabric that I've designed. Very fun. You can see my other fabrics here. http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/countrygarden

I want to find some French blue fabrics with a little yellow to finish the design in a table runner. These are my first four fabrics I designed on Spoonflower. It takes a while to get them and I have five more on order and very excited to see them. I adjusted the size of the image so it will be a smaller overall print on the fabric.

This pattern is much easier and I should have it done soon. I designed some fabric with chickens on it from Spoonflower to finish this design with, you can see a preview of the fabric on my drawing blog. I bo...
