Our Annual Tea Towel Calendar Contest + A Two for One Fat Quarter Sale Coming Up

October 18, 2012

Every year we look forward to our tea towel calendar contest, partly because the designs are always terrific, and partly because we really love tea towels. The crop of tea towel calendars for 2013 is no exception, and voting for your favorites is fun despite the difficulty of admiring all the designs sideways (a limitation of our prevew system is that the fabric is shown how it will be printed, with no way to rotate a preview for a cut & sew item like a tea towel).

Along with the good news about the contest is that next week, as we announce the winners of the contest, we're also going to launch a fat quarter sale that will allow you to get two tea towels for the price of one. The sale will actually apply to all fat quarters, but around here we're planning to use it to stock up on holiday gifts. The sale will run from Thursday, October 25th, 2013 (at 8am EST) to Wednesday, October 31st (at 10 pm EST). Until then, have fun voting!

2011 Tea-Towel Design Contest: Vote for your favorites

November 4, 2010

We have 113 tea-towel designs submitted to the contest this year, which is just terrific. Voting for your favorites is quite a lot of fun as long as you don't mind twisting your head this way and that so you can see the calendars right-side up. [Our preview, you'll remember, is designed to show fabric as it will be printed rather than how the fabric might look as a finished product.] I love this contest theme because with a little cutting and hemming, tea-towel calendars make lovely, handmade gifts that even I can manage to finish. Spoonflower tip: They're best when printed on our cotton twill or linen-cotton canvas.
