Check out the border print contest winner & Fabric Of the Week co-queen

Border Print Winner
Cean Irminger — the designer from Machipongo, Virginia who has won four previous Fabric Of the Week contests (paper collage, apron, shoes and snow) — has now won her fifth challenge, which ties her once again with Spoonflower's other textile design dynamo, SammyK. Cean's border print, titled 'The Firebird (A Russian Folk Tale)' came out on top this week, and the word around the Spoonflower office is that it is would make a fine pair of yoga pants. Way to go, Cean!

BORDER collage
We had a whole heap of border prints submitted for this week's contest, and there is some amazing work in the group. I did not do a very good job providing guidance for folks who weren't sure exactly what constituted a border print and what did not, but the general idea was to collect designs engineered so that the placement of print on the fabric itself was central to the effect. Apologies to the people who were not sure what we were after. Many of the prints in this week's contest would make amazing skirts, table runners, and the like. Have fun voting… we'll announce a winner next Thursday.
