If you've ever sought to see a certain saucy someone sew slithering snakes slowly, then you'll be sorry to miss the Spoonflower staff quilting class we're holding this evening in the Greenhouse, where we'll use fabrics from this week's Year of the Snake contest to practice our skillssss. The winner of our snake fabric contest is none other than Irrimiri, one of our favorite designers from the Netherlands. Congratulations to her and to the rest of the terrific top 10!

It’s going to be rather hard to create a coherent quilt from all of them! Various pairs do match quite well though. Eg sammyk’s with mine, siya’s with anastasiia-ku’s (and perhaps jwitting’s), diane555’s with irrimiri’s and cassiopee’s with ravenous’s socks.
