Announcing the Top 10 Year of the Monkey Designs!
The Monkey is the 9th of 12 animals in the recurring 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle. 2016 is the year of the Fire Monkey, which occurs once every fifty years! Anyone born in this year (or back in 1956) is said to be highly adventurous and ambitious.
Let's give a big hoot and howl for this week's winner Vo_aka_virginiao (on her 2nd win in a row!) with her design, "Fruitful Year of the Monkey," and be sure to congratulate all the top ten winners of the Year of the Monkey Design Challenge!

Vote For Starry Constellation Designs
Here in North Carolina the sun is setting earlier and earlier and the nights are getting long. We haven’t quite reached the frosty temperatures of winter yet, and so it’s a perfect time to stretch out on a blanket in the yard and look at the stars. This week, designers created patterns inspired by the mighty constellations. Pick your favorite far-out pattern!
Announcing the Astrological Fabric Winners
The winner of our zodiac-themed contest this week is the talented UK designer behind Spellstone Studio, whose winning fabric manages, improbably, to combine astrological symbols with a chintz in a design that is both elegant and subtle. All of the top ten star-themed designs are, however, lots of fun. Congratulations to Spellstone and to the rest of the top 10 designers!
