fishing

Cynthia Frenette of Green Couch Designs is the winner of this week's Fabric Of the Week design challenge, which was devoted to the sport of fishing. This is Cynthia's third win (her previous wins came in the Jokers & Fools contest and the last tea towel calendar contest we ran) but you may remember that she was also a finalist in our recent Project Selvage competition.

This was a very close contest with lots of great designs, so be sure to take a few minutes to admire the top ten!

The idea of inviting the Spoonflower design community to have a go at designing fabrics around the sport of fishing struck us as quirky fun when we came up with it as a topic a few weeks ago, but the results are actually astonishing. There are a whole school of lovely fabrics among the 204 entries in this week's contest, even if I'm not entirely sure what they'll be used to make. [Sleeping bag liners, maybe? Boxers?] This turned out to be a terrific contest, so be sure to cast a line, er… vote!
