whirlwind of christmas decor toile

Holiday Traditions Toile

I am not much of a seasonal decorator but when Christmas come around I have amassed quite a collection of shiny things over the years and my house is quite a whirlwind of activity as everything gets unboxed and put up.

This thought was my inspiration behind my design for the Spoonflower challenge this week, Holiday Traditional Toile.

I created my design in a pen and ink style with watercolor washes for a little pop of color. A sweet little blue bird does all the hard work and ties together all my decorating scenarios! It is a modern toile!

As always, if you can be faffed, and I know it is becoming more and more of a faff as these challenges have grown, I’d LOVE your vote.

Mellow Midnight Mice

A Spoonflower limited color palette part two, Calm using a pine green, sky blue and mushroom brown. Ohhh these were difficult colors and more depressing than calm in my book. But that’s part of the challenge, right, working with a color palette that does not speak to you. I used all three colors , black and white and threw in a extra color of pink, which is allowed. The design prompt suggested bringing the calm of the outdoors in and a pattern that would be suitable for bedding.

Hey presto Mellow Midnight Mice

Joyful Munchy Goats Pattern

Spoonflower is launching a range of solid color fabrics and for the next two challenges designers are being asked to create using a palette of colors from this new range. The first challenge is Joy and the colors are Lagoon, Mustard and Cotton candy. We can use 1,2 or all three colors black and white and an additional color.

With these limited palette challenge is is hard to know where to go design wise so I focused on the word Joy and came up with whimsical goats having right fun time munching their way through a long strand of flag bunting – Joyful Munchy Goats

fall is a coming

Fall Botanical

Gosh, who doesn’t enjoy the colors of fall or if you are from the UK like me, Autumn.

Fall is a coming is my entry for this week’s Spoonflower challenge ” Fall Botanical”

fall is a coming

I wove together leafy branches and berries in various stages of color changing. I think the best fall colors are when there is a mixtures of greens, yellows and oranges… that stage when it is all orange, is a signal that is is almost over!

What a pretty table runner it would make.

Spoonflower Solids .ase Color Swatch File

Come September, Spoonflower will be offering their Petal Signature Cotton fabric in 50 dyed solid colors, a departure from their print on demand approach but I am guessing it makes business sense.

Now you could spend a half hour creating a swatch from the graphic they have provided. Or you could just download the handy dandy .ase swatch file of the entire range which I have created and thought I’d share with the world. Download and import right into your graphics program. In the time you have saved go and have a cup of tea!

hubble bubble pastel halloween

Hubble Bubble Pastel Halloween

Pastel Halloween is the prompt for this week’s Spoonflower challenge which seems a bit odd to me but maybe orange, purple and black have had their day as far as Halloween goes. Actually I think not, but it is fun to design in a non conventional color palette.

My design Hubble Bubble Pastel Halloween conjures up a witch casting spells in her cauldron. The spell she is casting, is that this design is going to the challenge winner hahahah!

Why don’t we all prove old witchy right and cast our vote!
