2 for 1 on Fat Quarters at Spoonflower and My New Designs

The results of Spoonflower's annual Tea Towel Calendar competition were published yesterday, which means it's also time for Spoonflower's 2 for 1 offer on all fat quarters.  Perfect for stocking up on tea towels, or buying fabric for making small projects and gifts!

There were so many lovely tea towel designs this year, it was nice to see some of the ones I voted for made it into the top ten!  You can see all of the entries on Spoonflower's blog.
My cats themed design came 96th out of 296 entries (with 139 votes) - thank you if you voted for it! Unfortunately you will not be able to buy my cats tea towel calendar yet as I need to order a test print first, but I have plenty of other designs available for you to take advantage of Spoonflower's fantastic offer!
I have updated the dates on my Budgies tea towel calendar, so you can use it for 2016 now...

I have over 80 different fabric designs in my shop and the range has just got bigger!  I received samples of my latest designs last week and have just been making them available to buy.  Here is a small selection of my new Christmas star and snowflake designs, Octopuses, 90s Nostalgia, a new colourway of my rabbits (on pink) - to see the rest of my designs visit my shop: Hazel Fisher Creations on Spoonflower

You can mix and match different designs from different designers to take advantage of the 2 for 1 offer (see all the details over on Spoonflower).  Spoonflower have also been sharing ideas for projects to make using a fat quarter of fabric on Pinterest.

This is also a good time to let you know about ordering dates for Christmas; to receive fabric, gift wrap or wallpaper by 24th December, with Standard Shipping, order by Sunday 6th December if you're in the US or by Thursday 19th November for everywhere else.  Full details can be seen on Spoonflower here.

If you buy any of my fabric I would love to hear what you make with it!

Spoonflower contest results, 2 for 1 on Fat Quarters

2014 November 10 spoonflower contest teatowel calendar contest results budgie illustration hazel fisher creations 1
I’m so pleased at the response I had to my budgie tea towel calendar entered into last week’s Spoonflower contest!  I hoped that people would like it, as my other budgie designs have been quite popular, but it was still a lovely surprise to receive so many favourites for it on Spoonflower as well as messages from people who liked the design.

There were so many gorgeous entries to the contest with designs on a wide range of themes, I noticed that several of the designs I voted for made the top ten, you can see them all here.  I eagerly waited for the results to be posted and was excited to see that my design came 15th out of 205 entries, with 316 votes – thank you if you voted for my design!  It is by far the highest one of my designs has ranked in the contests and so close to my dream of being in the top ten :)

All of the tea towel calendars were designed to fit onto a fat quarter of Spoonflower’s linen-cotton canvas.  Spoonflower currently has a special offer on fat quarters – buy 2 for the price of 1The offer applies to all fat quarter sized fabrics, not just linen-cotton canvas.

I have taken advantage of the offer myself to buy some of my budgie tea towels plus 2 fat quarters of Kona cotton, one printed with my Christmas with Love design and another with my Spring Pink Flowers.  The budgie tea towel design will be available for you to buy from my shop soon, but unfortunately it isn’t for sale yet as I need to receive the samples of it first.  You can still take advantage of the 2 for 1 offer to buy other designs from my shop though.

I finally got around to using some of the fabric I ordered a few months ago and made this cushion cover…

The back of the cushion fastens with 3 vintage buttons from my collection – they were the perfect match for this fabric!

I haven’t decided exactly what I will be making with my new fat quarters yet.  I’m thinking of making a little zipped pouch and I would love to try patchwork sometime too.  What would you make with a fat quarter of fabric?
