Who Says A Fabric Design Site Can’t Love Wrestling? SammyK dominates the Lucha Libre mask competition
SammyK's Mariposa Magnifico has dominated arch rival Lucha libre mask of all time by fantazya, and two dozen or so other designs, to take the prize in our Lucha Libre Mask Pattern contest. But in a surprise twist, the ferocious SammyK has tagged another competitor — seven-and-a-half-year-old artist Eislinn, whose terrific Lucha Libre masks won the hearts of many audience members — and donated her $100 Spoondollar prize to her. So congratulations to the team of Samarra and Eislinn! On that note, some people think that because we're geeks who think about fabric all day we're some kind of pushovers. Well, I say think again.

Halloween Mask Pattern Contest Winner [+ Spoonflower rogues’ gallery]
Participants in our most recent contest were asked to create patterns for masks (or similar headgear) that could be made in time for Halloween. The winner — and this is her second trip to the podium, having won our Windows & Doors contest previously — is Dutch illustrator Deborah van de Leijgraaf. Her 'Funny Black Cat Mask' (modeled here by my youngest) won the most votes in a field of brilliant entries. The house favorite, however, was an entry by SammyK for a pair of new superheroes, Spoon & Flower, whose exploits we like to think have just begun.
