Spoonflower Fall Leaves Contest

2 Replies

If you remember, in October I painted a fall leaf for the Milliande Birthday postcard swap. And if you don’t remember, that is OK. You can see it here.

My Dear friend Joan Princing had the great idea of using it for a fabric design. I did a very simple toss pattern and that is my entry in this weeks Spoonflower design contest. If you like what you see, you can vote for me. There is only one page, just click and submit.

I appreciate your support, and I thank you for taking the time!

Festive Fall Fabric

This does not scream party or holiday and maybe it does not really qualify as “festive”. But then again, maybe it does:

fes·tive
adjective \ˈfes-tiv\
: cheerful and exciting : suited to a celebration or holiday
: of or relating to Christmas

Full Definition of FESTIVE
1:  of, relating to, or suitable for a feast or festival <a festiveoccasion>
2:  joyful, gay <a festive mood>

 

I just know that festive is the first word that came to mind when I saw this final pattern. I love it on white, the colors really pop. Then again, you are not supposed to wear white in the fall, right? I wasn’t thinking of clothing, but I started thinking maybe it would be better to have a warmer background. What do you think?

I do have a couple of ideas for companion patterns. One with a border of the leaves piling up. Hopefully I can finish those soon. Enjoy the rest of your day everyone!
