Valkyrie Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 In searching for a special present and a print of hedgehogs I came across a company called Spoonflower. Quite an interesting concept - they have designers and you can request a print on wallpaper/fabric you name it they do it! I wanted hedgehogs and this is the one I fancy. Mind you a fat quarter print on Kona cotton is a tad expensive, but worth it if you can find something unusual. The one I've ordered is the hedgehog tea in yellow. Thought it was cute. http://www.spoonflower.com/shop?utf8=%E2%9C%93&type=fabric&view=designs&shop=fabric&q=hedgehog+tea&x=21&y=11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I've heard a lot about Spoonflower lately. You send a file and they print your design for you. So you could take photos of your kids lego and design your own fabric. How cool is that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Well I have ordered 2 lots - one being the hedgehog and another is a fat quarter of puffins. Turns out the designer is from Nottingham! She already emailed me to thank me - how lovely! So I think for that it will be an Irish chain with the puffins as a centre square and white with black, red, orange and yellow squares to tie in with beaks - or black red and blue, dunno yet, but the brain is working so much that I dreamt about quilting last night! Brilliant isn't it. Just think someone might like your design and order some for themselves! Also as it is shipped by sea it is only $2 postage (but for each and that makes $6 for my stuff. Even so a flat rate air envelope is considerably more expensive nowadays, so I'm happy with that. Must try not to make it a habit because the fabric costs a bomb!!! But it's soooo tempting! Walk away Kooj walk awayyyyyyyy!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I love their stuff. I think they did the fabric of a Facebook craft ladies design whose page I follow, Marnie Makes I believe it was. Actually, after having a look just now, I can't find any by her. Wonder who it was? Anyway, gorgeous fabrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 go on then Christian...what did you buy cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 It arrived this week - OH said and justhe what did you buy with all my money in that little packet? The hedgehogs in the teacup are larger than I thought but good for the centre of a star or somesuch (I think I'll have it in the middle of perhaps a Celtic swirlywhirly as it's going to be a cushion pressie for a Scottish lady) but it's still pretty and I like it. As for the puffins - well OH said ooooh I like that! So there we go. Sorted. And just what did you do Christian!!!! Oh my next year come to the quilt show with us!!! I did see some people wandering round with small luggage bags on wheels. Now I know why!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
