Travel Turtle

I signed up to be a beta-tester on Spoonflower a few weeks (or months ago) and I got an invitation to join this morning! I’m so excited. Well, what is spoonflower? I’m going straight to the source to tell you.

Spoonflower gives individuals the power to print their own designs on fabric that they can then use to make quilts, clothes, pillows, blankets, framed textile art and many, many other things that might surprise you.

The craft world happens to be exploding right now. Tired of seeing the same products and the same designs everywhere, more and more people are drawn to the idea of doing it themselves, of creating things that are unique and carry within them a little bit of the passion of the individuals who made them.

The folks who are waging the handmade revolution by and large do so quietly. On blogs, in sewing groups, on Etsy storefronts and in their homes, a growing number of people have decided to make and to share things they think are beautiful. Spoonflower exists to give crafters a powerful tool for expressing their creative visions using fabric.

Now, it’s time for me to come up with some designs. I have been on the lookout for some new curtains… maybe I’ll start there? I’ll let you all know how it goes.
