SammyK explodes again - Congratulations to the winner of our fireworks fabric contest

The winner of our fireworks fabric competition -- informally known as the pyrotextile contest -- is none other than all-time Spoonflower champ Samarra Khaja, or SammyK, who has won seven previous contests (civil rights toile, celebrity smackdown, tractors, medieval, tiki, cocktails, and science).

Samarra gets the prize, but we're also pleased to announce what we hope will be a welcome addition to the weekly contest. Each week from now on we'll make all of the top ten designs available for sale rather than just the winner. We'll also post photos of the printed fabrics in the top ten in our Flickr pool each week for you to admire.
