Fabric Collection

As we wrap up our four week SpoonChallenge: Creating a Fabric Collection, we want to encourage budding textiles artists to keep creating! In an effort to do so, we're offering one lucky designer the opportunity to win a one year membership to Bonnie Christine's Roost Tribe + $100 in Spoonflower credit. Bonnie's creative community inspired her to make a special place where she could share what she’s learned on her journey and pass along the secrets to her success. Members of the Roost Tribe are encouraged to follow their dreams, share their talents, and find strength in community. Continue to build and grow the skills you've developed during the SpoonChallenge as a member of the Roost Tribe!

In addition to a Roost Tribe membership, we're throwing in a $100 Spoonflower credit. Test new designs, explore exciting colorways and print fabrics for your professional collection portfolio!

Enter by Tuesday, August 4th, 2015 for a chance to win. The winner will be notified via email on Wednesday, August 5th. Good luck!
