Check out Cynthia's birdies, winner of the 2011 Tea-Towel Calendar design contest!

Congrats To Tea-Towel Calendar Winner Cynthia Frenette

The winner of our tea-towel calendar contest is Canadian designer and longtime Spoonflower community member Cynthia Frenette of Green Couch Designs. Her '2011 Birdies,' which fits nicely onto a fat quarter of any of our fabrics, won the most votes from a grCoup of terrific entries and would make a great, easy-to-sew gift for the holidays.
