Whew! I am amazed I was able to do so many collage pieces this month. Thank you Lord! They were so much fun, and I learned so much. Fear made me delay starting them. Stupid fear.

Spoonflower Design Challenges

I completed all of challenges this month. Again, Lots of learning here. I learned how to make a check and a plaid. And my speed is improving. Very happy about that.

Along with each challenge design, I was able to create a small collection with pattern variations and solid coordinates. I may also add a ditsy print, textured solid, stripe or other coordinating pattern to them.

For the Ikat Cross, I am going to make some slight changes before working on a collection. More fun ahead. I also will work more on the two Circle pattern Ideas. 🌻

    Wow! You certainly had a busy productive month. It is great to see the changes that can be made in your spoonflower work – kick out the avocado green – lol. I like your blue collages best and the flowers on the berry colour. Super work Sheila!

      Haha, yes, kick it out Val! I’m glad to know you like the berry, and the blue collages. I still feel I could add more to those, but I will leave them for now.
      Enjoy your garden, and keep creating! xoxo
