Spoonflower is a custom fabric printing service, which allows you to upload your own textile designs, printing only what you need on fabric weight of your choice. You can also purchase fabrics designed by other Spoonflower community members and I have found some goodies:
From top left to bottom right:
- Time Travel by SURLYBIRDSTUIO
- Kunda Linen in Ocean by Holli Zollinger
- Lemon Squares by Thebline
- Selvages on Steroids by A Few Scraps (Eep! I also like the tiny version of this selvage print, which is still en route).
I so love these bold, colorful and clever designs.
In contrast these rather sweet vintage reclaimed linens have also found their way to the stash:
So pretty! The colors are so vibrant and the quality is excellent. A reclaimed fabric project is slowly unfolding and has been shortlisted on the to do list.
Vintage sheet fat quarters were purchased from: So So Vintage @ Etsy.
Enjoy Sunday!

I've been eyeing off the selvedge print, it's amazing! That luggage tag one is very tempting too!
ReplyDeleteI love the selvedges on steroids print - its fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIs the spoonflower fabric as soft as quilt quality fabric you find at a quilt store. I keep looking but haven't bought anything yet.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I just pinned that time travel fabric the other day. Amazing! I love it :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have the best taste in fabric! I love all those prints, especially the Time Travel one!! If you ever need anyone to take your scraps, let me know - I would be happy to do that favor for you!!
ReplyDeleteLove your choices I just ordered From them as well we found the perfect owl print for a good friend. great customer service.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that place! Such wonderful inspiration there!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! My head is spinning with the possibilities! When I started to quilt, one of the 'rules' was that "you can't use sheets". How silly. And Spoonflower is just an amazing universe of design. Thanks for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteooo goody goody. Your 'a la Grande-mere' is my favourite RPQ, so I can't wait to see what design with these vintage beauties.
ReplyDeleteOh no, now you've done it! Now I want to buy all the fabric designs on their website! :) Love the selvage one.
ReplyDeleteI've had that selvage fabric on my wishlist for a while now ... you've nudged me! Love the others too ... that travel label would be so fantastic as a bag lining ...
ReplyDeleteI'm already obsessed with fabric designed by others, but the very idea I could create my own.....
ReplyDeleteUH OH
LOVE that selvage print!
ReplyDeleteI am always anxiously awaiting your next reclaimed fabric project.
ReplyDeleteOh, who am I kidding. I am always anxiously awaiting your next project.
ReplyDeleteOh my...you've gotten me started on another new obsession~
ReplyDeleteRita, I'd love to hear your opinion of the texture and hand of these prints now that they're on Kona! I ordered the Macaroni Love Story line, and was a bit disappointed in the quality of the base cloth--I know it's all digitally printed, so we can't really expect it to feel like manufactured fabrics, but I'm hoping that the Kona as a base cloth has improved the texture a bit? Would love to hear your opinion before I buy 65 trillion yards of that spectacular selvedge print--seriously, why hasn't anyone thought of doing that design before?? Love!
ReplyDeleteSpoonflower is so dangerous (and wonderful)! :)
ReplyDeleteI bought an entire sheet the same as the one fourth from the right in your sheet pile recently (thank heaven for the thrift stores) and I love it sososo much! It's taking a prominent part in a picnic-y blanket I'm makin right now :)
ReplyDeleteI have recently had delivered some fabric from Spoonflower and think it is a great quality. The design is individual and the colour is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOh that looks so so dangerous! I must not look, I must not look..
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending me back to Spoonflower Rita, didn't realise they were now printing on Kona! I presume that's what you have shown? The colours look great. I've had mixed success on their cotton poplin but the thicker linen/ cotton was great. It's just a little too thick for me to use for patchwork. As Deborah mentioned I can't to see more of your Kona print. I also echo Deborah's "why didn't anyone think of that before" sentiments re the selvedge print, very cool!!
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents are both in their 90s. I should have known that Gramma has not bought new sheets in a VERY long time. ALL their sheets are vintage! I am putting those under my name on the list of things she can leave to me!
ReplyDeleteI love using a vintage sheet for a quilt back.
Can't wait to see what you do with those vintage pieces!
I love Holli Zollinger's designs. I could eat them I think they're so delicious, stylish, modern, witty and creative.
ReplyDelete:) I hope it wasn't my fault with my bicycle fabric comment the other week?!? I spend far too much at Spoonflower - mainly on my own designs!
ReplyDeleteJust put in an order for some vintage fabrics. Went home to Blairgowrie Rita to ask my parents for the vintage sheets we all slept under when we bought the house back in 1992 and were left behind by previous owner. They have been used as Dad's paint drop sheets! Gutted!!!
ReplyDeletelove your colour sense! and the selvedges pattern is such a clever design!
ReplyDeleteRita you have no idea how much it tickles me that you like my fabric. Thanks for the thrill and for sharing it with fellow fabric lovers. Happy sewing to you!
