April showers...

Found out today I didn't make the cut in the fabric contest. After viewing the 75 designs that are the picks for this round of the contest, I realize how much I have to learn and have learned by just designing a piece and entering it. There are some wonderful designs that were chosen ...... would definitely add them to my stash if they were printed fabrics!

Hubby said just doing the creative thing and entering the contest was probably the most important part. He's right, but don't tell him. Anyhow, I realize that I have found an awesome resource where I can get my designs printed for my own use and or gifts ..... and there is satisfaction in that .... my head is full of all sorts of ideas.

Meanwhile, here's the link to the 75 designs that have been chosen for the Michael Miller|Spoonflower contest. I think you can vote on your favorite design(s) without having to sign up on their web site. Give it a try.

Spoonflower also runs in-house contests periodically and the theme for the one that ends tomorrow is "rain". Here's a design I put together yesterday using my watercolors, Adobe Illustrator and the scanner. I think you can tell one of my favorite colors is lime green.
Thanks everyone, for your lovely comments and wishes..... I really love it when you visit.

I think your husband is right! You should be so proud that you designed a pattern and entered the contest.
