Elegant Elephant Paisley: Bora wins another fabric design contest!

Elephant-paisley
Dutch illustrator Deborah van de Leijgraaf (Bora) wins her fifth Fabric Of the Week contest with a charming spin on our paisley design challenge: "Fun bathtime for little Elley".

 

For the record, Bora has previously won our Cats, Kawaii, Masks, and Windows & Doors contests. Be sure to stop by her blog (which she is kind enough to publish in English) to admire some of her great photos of fabric projects. Her big win happens to coincide with her son's 4th birthday!

Paisley fabrics
First of all, an apology. I sent out our weekly email this morning with the wrong subject line — a dupe from last week's email. This is a bummer, as it means the email is less likely to be opened and thus the community is less likely to know about our oliver + s book giveaway (see below), Nadja's breakfast win (also below), and our terrific paisley contest. Those of you who read the blog don't have to worry about this, of course, but still, I feel bad that I messed it up.

You paisley contest participants really outdid yourselves!
