Free Swatch Day Starts At Midnight, New Organic Knit + Bamboo-Cotton Poplin
Free Swatch Day: Thursday, August 20th. Starting at midnight tonight and lasting through 11:59 pm on Thursday (EST), you can get up to two free, printed swatches. We're taking Free Swatch Day as an opportunity to raise money for Heifer International, an organization that provides livestock, training and services to small-scale farmers and communities worldwide. Have fun. This is a great opportunity for folks new to Spoonflower to give us a try, so please help us spread the word! We've posted all the Free Swatch Day details HERE.
