Ice Crystals is the prompt for this week’s Spoonflower challenge and I messed around with snowflake patterns for ages before abandoning and going for a abstract approach instead inspired by icy puddles.

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”
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.
Neutral Geometric Wallpaper
I dilly, dallied all over the place for this week’s Spoonflower challenge – Neutral Geometric Wallpaper, but eventually settled on a gamut of geometric shapes in a soft neutral palette of blues and grays,
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!
Rainbow Owls – Nocturnal Animal Challenge
Are you Scared Yet: Phantasmagoria Challenge
Nothing like learning a new word, Phantasmagoria “a sequence of real or imaginary images like those seen in a dream” and the prompt for this week’s Spoonflower challenge
I was inspired by old fashioned theatrical methods of creating scary apparitions.
Are you scared yet? is my entry for this week.
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!
Retro Bugs
Ooooh this was a fun Spoonflower challenge to design, Retro Bugs
Retro Ladybugs and Friends. I went for a retro color palette and some 1950’s inspired graphics for a retro/vintage feel.
Farm I spy: Baby Play Mat
Gosh this Spoonflower challenge – Baby Play mats was quite a bit of work, but a lot of fun to do. My 42″ by 36″ design is full of farm fun! Farm Fun I spy Playmat
Hunt for a farm cat, rosy red apples and a chicken with her eggs. I actually could have gone on and on hiding things in this design!
My design also repeats and is a super fun design for a wallpaper accent wall in a kids bedroom.

Peachy Keen
I messed around with two designs for this week’s Spoonflower challenge, Stone Fruits
The first design I created has a graphical modern feel but after sitting on it for a few days I decided as much as I liked it, it may well bomb in the challenge.
Makes a fun table cloth!
So the I took inspiration from the a design I created for the Charcuterie Board and came up with Peachy Keen. It features slices of peach, cherries and raspberries ( which much to my surprise are considered a stone fruit!)
