Sunday Stash #150

First up, a little Spoonflower stashing!  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.


These three designs are by Kajsa Wikman, digitally printed by Spoonflower on Robert Kaufman Kona cotton.  I adore these prints!  See all of Kajsa designs here:  Spoonflower:  Syko
 

Next, some hand screen printed fabrics by Karen from Blueberry Park:


Karen is a self taught designer and hand screen printer of fabric.  I adore Karen's simple and geometric designs!  All designs are printed on beautiful quality linen with water based paint and heat set to make it washable.

See more of Karen's fabric designs and handmade products here:  Blueberry Park @ Etsy

I am always on the look out for these special prints; a unique - and highlight - fabric to feature in a quilt and at the same time support emerging businesses and designers with fresh and modern ideas.

Enjoy Sunday!

    All my spoonflower fabrics have faded after a few washes (print has washed off). Other sewers in forums have said the same thing. :-(

    Hi Rita, just want to tell you how much I enjoy reading you. Each and every post is interesting and inspiring, whether you show the beautiful this you make or post about other quilters and fabrics. I frequently visit Soonflower's site: there are so many-not yet commercialized- talented designers out there!
    Thank you for introducing these two very interesting designers!
