OMG! I voted for 65 entries!
I would have voted for 3 more but they had blended colors and shading... which was not allowed... :(
Too bad... they were VERY VERY nice!
Hopefully everyone else will vote based on the rules and not give in to the over-powering urge to chose them!
A Field Of Summer Flower Fabrics: Vote for your favorites!
Our Fabric Of the Week contest theme for this round is summer flowers, but all the entries had to employ a restricted palette (you can see it here). These color-limited contests have a way of bringing out a lot of truly amazing talent and creativity and this week is no exception. Even some of ...
I'm having such a hard time voting... the images show up and then go blank. I can't "choose" any...

Cheater Quilts Aplenty: Vote for your favorites from 128 designs
Wow! I didn't expect so many designs in this contest. The cheater quilt edition of our Fabric Of the Week contest is for designs set up to print on a yard of fabric. With the addition of batting and backing, the yard can then be quilted to give an impression of being composed of different ...
How do I vote?!?!?

Everyone who is voting... PLEASE make sure that you know that the instructions were to be printed on the yard of fabric AND make sure to vote for ones that will actually work as an apron! One was only 12x13!!!!!!
Spoonflower apron pattern contest. Vote for your favorite apron kits!
For our current competition we asked designers to come up with an apron pattern that could fit -- instructions and all -- onto a single yard of quilting weight cotton (42" x 36"). As usual, the creativity and skill that has gone into the entries is truly impressive. Of the 43 patterns entered, ...
Thank you!
I've actually noticed the failed link in other contests... like the apron one!!!

Why am I NOT able to see the winning fabric's Spoonflower page? I noticed that there are several fabrics that when you click on them it takes you back to the home page and NOT the fabric page.
NOT FAIR to remain private pages...

I like the design... but I'm such a stickler for contest themes... it wasn't "tiki" themed so I didn't vote for it... sorry.
Tiki Fabric Eruption! Vote in the latest Fabric Of the Week contest
This week's Fabric Of the Week competition is for Tiki-themed fabrics. We have 76 entries in the running. Vote for as many as you like and we'll announce the winner next week. With apologies to the designers whose fabrics were pulled for being too far off-theme, the participating artists are:...
I really thought this was a cute puppet! I'm glad it won!
I AM disappointed in where my design ended up in the vote... :(
The birds on a wire (NOT A PUPPET) got the SAME number of votes for this puppet contest as I did... I'm kind of... make that extremely bummed...
Maybe I shouldn't enter contests anymore..... *sigh*
Puppet Pattern Winner: Grrr... argh! by Milktooth
Congratulations this week to Lisa Mirella of Portland, Oregon! Her pattern for a sewn puppet (titled 'Grrr.... argh!') ended up winning the most votes from a gaggle of delicious designs. You can find more from Lisa on her blog MilkTooth, or in her Etsy shop.You can also see all of the top te...
I am so frustrated... I made an elephant puppet and uploaded it for the contest last night, or so I thought... It didn't upload... :-( Now I can't enter it into the contest... :-(
Upcoming Fabric Design Contests: Puppet Patterns, Fifties, Tiki

Vote for your favorite shoe-themed fabrics! Fabric Of the Week Contest
The theme of our fabric design contest this week is shoes... and you won't be surprised to learn that we have a closet full of entries (82 of them). VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE SHOE FABRICS The participating designs and designers this week are: "Whatever Happened to My Garden Clog?..." by cean...
This was a pretty big pattern... Very nice looking!
One of the top 10 was actually not a tessellation, but was very pretty.
I LOVE THE CONTESTS!
Tessellation Winner: Hiding Birds Fabric by French Designer Jorz
Designer Jo Ruiz of Montreuil, France is our winner this week. Not only is she the second winner in a row from France, but (if my crude interpretation of the most recent post on her blog can be trusted), she first heard about Spoonflower from Nadja, who was last week's winner. Great designers ...
I wish this one was entered into the contest!!!

Fabric Of the Week: Vote for your favorite tessellations!
This week's Fabric Of the Week challenge is for the mathematically-minded among you. The task was to create fabric designs using tessellations, or designs that cover a plane (in this case fabric) with a shape repeated over and over again without any gaps. Not all of the designs in this week'...
Oh darn... I can't buy it yet!
"This design is not yet for sale, but send XXXXXXXX a message if you'd like to buy it."
Hurry up folks & make your fabrics available for sale!!!

Several entries are not a Tessellation... But I did love the entries enough to want to purchase one for use even though it isn't a tessellation... : )
When voting, please take into consideration the definition of TESSELLATION:
•A repeated pattern of a geometric figure that will completely cover a surface.
•a design of repeating shapes that fit together without gaps or overlaps.
•a repeating pattern of distinct shapes
•An arrangement of plane figures (usually congruent figures) to cover a surface without overlapping or leaving any gaps.

I agree with you Tara... I think that those who "filled" a digital image with watercolor, while the design is cute, didn't actually follow the requirements... Also, those who took digital images or photographs and used the "watercolor effect" in a software program to make the image look 'watercolor-y' didn't follow the requirements either.
I'd also like to be sent a message, if I've entered a contest, with how many votes I got even if I didn't win. That way I know if my designs are liked by the community... : )
Fabric Of the Week Contest: Vote for fabric designs created using water colors
This week our contest is built around fabric designs created using water colors and digitized using a minimal amount of software manipulation. As you look through the entries (there are 70), some of the designs were clearly created using paint and others.... well, it's hard to tell. As you v...
I have used clipart... But I always manipulate the design so that it becomes my own. I DO NOT, however, enter those manipulated clipart designs into contests. I think that if I win a contest, I want it to be ALL MINE... Not someone else who had the original idea.
('Cute Elephant' and 'Elephant Rush' are my only clipart designs used as of today)

I am a little frustrated that people are entering designs into these contests that don't meet the entry requirements... This "Watercolor" contest has photos that have been manipulated by Photoshop and digital graphics. The last contest "Gardens" hada TON of entries that didn't have anything that made you think "Hmm, that's a garden theme"...
I LOVE these contests, but when I go to vote, I have to flip past so many that aren't the theme, it gets a little annoying...
