Announcing Our Flights of Fancy Contest Winner!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our peeps in the US! The theme of our contest this week was Flights Of Fancy, which produced both the expected -- lots of bird fabrics, for example -- but also the unexpected: the winner, Roz Robinson, based her design on the wistful flight of dandelion seeds. Designers were also asked to restrict their use of color to a particular palette. Roz's winning fabric will appear in a photo on the cover of an upcoming issue of the UK craft magazine Mollie Makes. Congratulations to all who participated!
