Crafting for a Cause : Softies for Mirabel Update!

December 20, 2015

Did you know that for the past 2 months, Spoonflower has been a donation location for the 2015 Softies for Mirabel handmade toy drive? While the Mirabel Foundation may be located down under in Australia, Spoonflower customers and employees were happy to help contribute to this worthy cause to support a Mirabel child. This year, we were overwhelmed by your support and we can't thank you enough! Today, join Spoonflower team member Meredith as she shows you more about the 95 softies donated to the Spoonflower HQ before they venture off to Australia to meet their forever home!

5 custom cat softies made by the Spoonflower Operations Director are ready to head to Australia!

A handful of delightful softies await their departure to the Mirabel Foundation!

Project Linus Make A Blanket Day 2014

March 17, 2014

This past weekend, we were delighted to be a part of the annual Make A Blanket Day put on by our local chapter of Project Linus in Raleigh, NC. Project Linus is an organization devoted to comforting kids and teens facing serious illness and trauma with a gift of their own handmade security blanket. Since our local chapter was founded by Susie Holmes in 1996, area "blanketeers" have donated over 27,000 blankets to local agencies and hospitals. Their recent Make A Blanket Day was a huge success, and we were so excited to present our finished quilting bee blanket created by members of our Greenhouse community!

Giveaway to the American Red Cross

October 31, 2012

We’re seeing some terrible, devastating images coming out of New York and New Jersey now in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. This monster storm has affected people that we personally know and love, people we know through work, people we feel like we know online, many Spoonflower customers, and millions more. It seems out of place somehow to run our usual giveaway today so instead, Spoonflower is sending a $200 donation to the American Red Cross to aid in their Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.

We really hope that all of you affected by this awful storm will be able to recover and get back to normal lives soon.

Last week’s winner of the drawing for two yards of cheater quilt fabric is Robin Ihnat. Congratulations, Robin!
