Looking Out Chair

 I realized I had yet to share the latest addition to my ever-growing chair collection, so here we are, this is the prize of my The Sidecar win! It's my Looking Out design on Eco Canvas fabric on a Maran Slipper Chair by Roostery. It's quite a comfy little marshmallow. I used some Pure White Chalk Paint on the dark brown legs to better coordinate with the airiness of the fabric.

 Roostery is Spoonflower's awesome sister company for homewares (chairs, pillows, tea towels, etc.) and all of my designs and others' in the Spoonflower marketplace are available on their products.

Fibrefest 2016 Booth

Fibrefest 2016 in Almonte, Ontario was a grand success! I feel honoured to have met so many creative, cheerful, supportive people! There were tons of great conversations over the span of the weekend. Even my mannequin was feelin' fabric festive, decked out in a doily top to go with her Seamstress Fruit skirt.

I covered up the puck-scuffed boards of the Almonte Arena with some Canadiana a.k.a. some fabric in my With Glowing Hearts collection. How appropriate, with hockey sticks and all.

Voilà--the Creatively Graceful booth in all its whimsical glory! I absolutely adore setting up vignettes for shows.

I draped With Glowing Hearts on a vintage ironing board.

A vintage wooden ladder held fat quarters and pillows of my designs, such as Single, Buttons, and Frolicking Fleecy on Linen Cotton Canvas Ultra.

Aaaand...I have chosen the winning names for the Almonte collection...*drum roll*...

Congrats to Susan Schmidt, Jayme Vallieres, Shelley Scott, and Heidi Lowry for their winning titles! You will be receiving an 8" by 8" cotton swatch of your fabulously named designs in the mail! The whole collection is available in my shop as fabric, wallpaper, and gift wrap. A huge thank you to every textile enthusiast who contributed, and overall to everyone who visited the Creatively Graceful booth!

Scallop Fabric Winner

Oh my, what an unexpectedly wonderful surprise--an update for my previous post! My Scallop fabric won the contest! I am in a state of excited shock! Scallop is now up for sale by Spoonflower and is being turned into a collection of shoes, along with the three other winning fabric designs, by Milk and Honey. I will be sure to post a picture of the shoes when I get them in the mail. Thank you so, so, so much to everyone who voted!
