Spoonflower Special






Spoonflower is offering free 8"X8" swatches today (maximum 2 per customer) until midnight EST! Even the shipping is free and you have the option to recycle your savings into a donation to
Heifer International.

I just placed my order for two designs based on a photo I took from the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The image was then adapted on IrfanView. Each design is a bit different in scale and color. I chose the upholstery weight for both. The photo is deceptive because the Met has hedges planted all around the roof -- maybe 5 feet deep. From one side of the roof, you can look out onto the tops of the trees in Central Park.

I'm eager to see these swatches and already have tenative plans for how I will use them. I arranged the repeats to make horizontal stripes. Maybe I should have done one of them as a checkerboard. Oh well, maybe next time. I hope you get over there and try your designs on Spoonflower!

Wow. I can't wait to see these. I LOVE the blue version, just love it.

You're so creative. I never would have thought to use a photograph for this purpose.
