Just to prove that creating a fabric design doesn't require you to be an expert in Photoshop or Illustrator, this week's contest includes over 500 entries that started out as handmade art. Be warned that voting may take quite a while, but rest assured that you'll have the pleasure of choosing your favorites from a pool of many, many lovely designs. (Voting this week is not, I fear, recommended for those still using dial-up Internet connections.)
