Continuing with our tradition of holding the occasional sports-themed design competition (fishing fabric, anyone?), this week's bowling contest offered a tournament's worth of fabulous fabrics. The winner — by a healthy margin — was Jennifer Wambach, a New York artist who has now won four Fabric Of the Week competitions (Hawaiian cheater quilt, alphabet, pointillism), which puts her in a very elite group of designers in our community. Congratulations, Jennifer! The top ten bowling designs all look amazing, of course. On a personal note, I much prefer bowling to golf because it's much harder to lose the ball.
