Spoonflower Deliveries & Lovely Miette
Thank you for your comments on the last post! Yes, it has been a surreal 48 hours for hubby. We saw him on the news last night with his beloved iphone, then on the cover of MX Newspaper, and then in the Herald Sun newspaper again today. If you’re interested in how it all serendipitously came to be, you can read about it on his personal blog here :-)
I mentioned previously that I had some mail goodness to share so I thought I should do that now before I start cutting into the fabric.
First up, some deliveries from Spoonflower. I’m really happy with the way the Clothesline pattern has turned out. I only ordered a swatch but will definitely be ordering more.
The Dotty Pears and Square Apples patterns also turned out quite nicely. I’m thinking of slightly reducing the scale of the Dotty Pears pattern (I included a tape measure in the photo to provide an idea of scale), as I’ll be using it on softies and want more of the pattern to appear on the final product.
My only tiny qualm regarding the final fabric print is that the colour is a little more faded/lighter than what I was expecting, but I have since found out that that is to be expected and can be fixed somewhat according to this discussion.
Overall, I’m very happy and looking forward to getting some of my other patterns printed out soon. Don’t forget to check-out the Spoonflower Flickr Group for more patterns designed by lots of creative folk, plus actual creations using their Spoonflower fabric.
I also received the super-dooper gorgeous handmade doll, Miette (and her fox mask), from Christine (won from her blog). It is so stunning in person and I don’t think any photographs I take will do it justice (see Christine’s Flickr for much better pics!).
The craftwomanship is outstanding. Miette is already much loved and is destined to become an heirloom in this family :-) If you love Christine’s work, keep an eye on her blog for the next shop update and for more details on her dolls.
My craft room is almost ready to go so I will be back soon after a bit of sewing practice :-)
I love the clothesline fabric!!! It is so perfect:)
I read about your husband (of course not knowing he was your husband) and thought what kind of crazy guy queues all night for a phone?? Now I know!
I love your clothesline fabric. I look forward to seeing what you are going to do with it.
Love the clothesline fabric!
Gorgeous patterns and the doll just blew my away!
She’s lovely. I suggested her name! I have two of Christina’s beautiful dolls. Miette is stunning…& named after the daughter of my best friend who lives in Belgium! Small world or what.
All the fabrics look great - the clothes line does work well. What did you have in mind for it?
I’m loving all the fabric designs ,especially the clothes line .Glad the move went well. Great picture of your hubby ,men and gadgets!!!!!
Love from sesga xx
This site is amazing. Such wonderful stuff !
I love the clothesline fabric, not just because it works so well as a pattern, but also because clearly I have a thing for pegs. Your ones look like they match too.
I would love to see it in a range of colours!
I’m so happy to see Miette in her new home in Australia:)
