Melissa Swansey Nicholson of Vineyard Haven, MA sells vintage-inspired designs on Etsy under the name oliverhenry. Her goods are printed on 100% certified organic cotton or 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper. This new collection which I just spotted via Facebook is available for sale through her Spoonflower shop.

I’m a little late to pull the trigger on this post because Alice Apple‘s sample and remnant packs are already sold out from her Etsy shop, but maybe these images will inspire you to pick up some yardage from her Spoonflower shop.

Wow, turns out I really like this theme of Geek Chic! The designers did a great job and now the round of 100 is open for public voting. I picked like 16, but I think Spirographic by Kateaurelia, above, is my superfavorite. Fabric8, if you didn’t know, is a collaboration between Robert Kaufman Fabrics and Spoonflower, and the winner of the contest will get a fabric collection with RK.

Some fortuitous Pinteresting led me to fabrics by Jolby, a collaborative design and illustration studio in Portland, Oregon. They are printed by Spoonflower and available through Jolby’s Etsy shop along with their prints, paintings, mugs, and other miscellany.

Designer Jenny Gordy of Wiksten has prints from last year’s spring-summer collection available to print on demand from Spoonflower. You don’t see a lot of prints on Spoonflower specifically designed with fashion sewing in mind (at least I don’t, but please direct me to them if you do!), so these are wonderful to see. They would of course be perfect printed
Robert Kaufman and Spoonflower have rejoined forces for another round of Fabric8, a contest to discover eight bold, modern designers. The ultimate winner gets a fabric collection with Robert Kaufman and a Wacom digital drawing tablet. The theme is Geek Chic, and they’ve made a Pinterest Board to get your ideas flowing.
See the timeline here — the entry deadline is April 23.

I got to meet Greta Songe at Fall Quilt Market, she is the nicest! Her first fabric collections with Marcus‘ new Studio 37 are now in stores. Great, inventive color combinations and sweet retro designs with hand-drawn touches. Her first two mini-collections are Kitschy Kitchen and the bike-riding themed Here to There.
Greta wrote me to share a peek at Apple Dee
Keema aka Pencil Me In makes these great, trendy, geometric designs for a variety of surfaces. Get these designs here on Spoonflower — also find Keema on Tumblr and Society 6.

Angela Walters, machine-quilter-to-the-stars (and a star herself — she’s like the non-frightening Rachel Zoe of the modern quilting world!), has a new class on Craftsy called Machine Quilting Negative Space. It’s an online, video-based, self-paced, highly rated, and very affordable class. She created these fabric panels for her students to practice with, but they aren’t required for the class and you also don’t have to take the class to buy them on Spoonflower. What a great idea, and one that uses digital printing in a way

I’ve covered Kalla Design‘s hand-screenprinted fabrics on True Up before. She has made several of her designs available for sale on Spoonflower, including new ones especially for digital printing. You can find them in her etsy shop too.
