Voting in the final round of the Fabric8 contest, a competition from Spoonflower and Robert Kaufman Fabrics to discover a handful of the world's best amateur textile designers, is pretty much wrapped up. We'll announce the winner on Thursday. If you'd like a closer look at the seven coordinates that each designer created to go with their original entries, browse all the lovely prints in our Fabric8 Flickr set.
If you've got a favorite, share it with us in your comment below (or on the relevant Facebook post) and you'll be entered in a drawing to win a fat quarter bundle of your favorite collection out of the top 8. As always, please include your Spoonflower name or some other means of tracking you down easily in case you're our winner. Entries close next Tuesday, 6/19 and we'll announce a winner on 6/20. Good luck, everyone–and please do vote if you haven't done so already! This giveaway is now closed and we'll be announcing a winner shortly.
Last week's winner of a Violette Field Threads pattern of her choice plus two yards of Spoonflower fabric was Rachel Booth. Congrats, Rachel, and I hope you make something pretty!

Love Heather Dutton’s tea Time! As a tea drink (and sewer) I rarely see good tea designs…awesome design and color.

I had a very hard time picking just one in the contest! A few of my favorite single designs are Water Flowers, Painted Petals, and Nesting.

My favourite is the set by Heather Dutton: Tea Time. I like how the black offsets the other colours. Congrats to all the finalists – lot’s of great designs.

Even though I liked several collections, I thought the Painted Petals collection overall was more diverse. Being a quilter, I look for fabrics that go coordinate, but are diverse and this collection fits that requirement.

I’m quite fond of “Afternoon Tea,” myself. The “Spoonful of Sugar” has my name on it–I want a blouse! 🙂
PS-My Spoonflower name is “GunShy.” Hope I win this one!! So cute!

I love Mahoneybee’s Butterfly Garden. I usually go for the bright colors but am magnetically drawn to this fabric collection! Such creativity!

I really like CJL Designs work. I can see myself using most of the Scented Garden range for my fabric scrap books. They have the right tone to work with vintage photos …
Alice Simons
I love all the collections. It is really hard to choose a favourite but for me Fappeled Migration wins by a small margin (username on Spoonflower is alicja)
