Behind the Scenes At The American Made Awards
Last night the founders of Spoonflower, Stephen and Gart, were in New York City to be honored at Martha Stewart's American Made Awards. It was incredible to be included in a class of such talented makers, and fun to meet our fellow honorees in-person at the event. Here's a behind the scenes rec...
Denise's book looks positively divine. Would love to lay my hands on it! Thanks for another great giveaway.
Denyse Schmidt's Modern Quilts book giveaway and Hat Shop giveaway winner
Denyse Schmidt provided one of my earliest introductions to the modern quilting movement. I love that she derives inspiration from vintage quilts and designs since these are dear to me already, but she cleans them up for the current quilter so that things look both familiar and fresh. I've gi...
What a beautifully designed set. So classic. If I won it I might be tempted to box frame it and hang it on my studio wall. I'm not sure I have any sewing tools to retire but my Ginghers need a trip to the scissor spa for a sharpening!
Merchant & Mills sewing notions giveaway and Rashida Coleman-Hale giveaway winner
Back when I was learning how to bake in a professional kitchen, I had a chef say to me, "A good chef never blames the equipment for her mistakes." I agree with her that solid skills can usually overcome any deficiency in the equipment you might have to work with but on the other hand, don't h...
This is an awesome book, and I would LOVE it in my little library of craftiness. Thanks for another great giveaway!
Classic and Modern Fabrics book giveaway and Victory patterns winner
Do you know what cranky check fabric is? Ever heard of either monk's cloth or nun's veiling? Would you like to read more about these and 600 other fabric types? (Do you need proof that there really are 600+ fabric types? Apparently there are!) If you want to completely geek out on fabrics ...

Craftsy class giveaway and WhimseyBox winner
Does the least little hint of spring weather make you start daydreaming about sewing pretty cotton dresses? It sure turns my mind that way. I think I've spent all my spare seconds for the past week mentally matching up pretty fabrics with dress patterns I've spotted. Like MelissaMelissa's ro...
A monthly box of tricks by mail would make my little heart sing. Thanks for another great giveaway!
WhimseyBox giveaway and craft business book winner
To me, one of the unexpected benefits of Stephen having started Spoonflower is that he is now well-versed in all things crafty and sewing-related. If not actually a practicing member of the sewing obsessed tribe himself, he is fluent in the language and customs. This is mighty handy around gif...

An Interview with Samarra Khaja, Spoonflower designer gone pro with Timeless Treasures
Those of you who have followed the Spoonflower fabric-of-the-week contests for even a few months probably don't need an introduction to prolific designer Samarra Khaja, aka Sammyk. Samarra has a light-hearted design style coupled with a great sense of both humor and color, and she's won ou...
I love these "meet the people" posts. You sure hire some interesting peeps over there. Love that. I've chatted to Stephen and a few other "Spoonflowers" and it's great to put a face & life to the voice.
Kim, maybe you should look into shower curtain fabric... :-D
Meet Spoonflower: Introducing Stephen Beck, troubleshooting troubadour!
Can you talk a bit about your professional experience? I know that you were a Waldorf teacher before landing at Spoonflower, but what other sorts of jobs have you had? First of all, I am not sure that I ever went pro at anything. Don’t those guys get paid the big bucks? I have dabbled at be...

Like your comment about the creased fabrics Kim & SammyK. I sound a bit like an ironing fascist!
What can I say, I never iron clothes, but I LOOOVE freshly-pressed, smooth, cotton fabric. Heh heh.
Tips from Spoonflower designers: Berene Campbell on how to photograph your fabrics
Now that it's possible to filter fabric search results on Spoonflower by photos of printed fabrics, I've been thinking about how to take a good photo lately. I personally have always found taking photographs tricky and have never considered myself particularly good at it. I'm more forgiving of m...
