I created this fabric! Yup, that’s right- I designed it myself and now I can purchase it by the yard on a variety of fabrics! And so can others!

If you watched Project Runway last week, you saw the designers creating their own fabric. Well, Spoonflower is one of several websites I have found that let you do the same thing on your own!

This is very exciting for me because I am just learning art quilting. I’ve tried fabric painting- and it is not working out how I want it to. I’ve discovered that with this new web technology, I can create my own designs, or use photos, or photoshop, upload my image and have it printed as one big panel or as a print!

Spoonflower also serves as a bit of a design community- as they hold challenges and contests. In addition, designers are able to sell their fabric to the public if they wish.

I’m working on making a painting in photoshop. From a blank white page. Never to be on canvas- just to go right into print and fabric! How’s that for something new and creative?

I found these vintage doggies on a share-site and made them into a fabric. Wouldn’t they make cute pajamas?

I know there were other sites available, but Spoonflower seemed to be the most popular at the moment, so that gave me a little trust… and the community is inspiring!
