{ Rose } 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. { Bird } { Katsura } { Casanay } { Nest } { Chevron [...]
I found Teja Williams (teja_jamilla on Spoonflower) by Pinteresting around. She is a freelance surface pattern designer from South Wales, currently living and working in London. These patterns are incredibly skilled and her collections show her talents in a very broad range of styles. I’m envisioning so many of these printed on silk for dresses! Teja also [...]
You may know German designer Susanne Firmenich, aka Hamburger Liebe, from her Spoonflower designs, which I have featured here before. Some of her Spoonflower designs and dozens more were picked up by two European companies — Hilco, which I’ll show you in the next post, and Michas Stoffecke. Michas Stoffecke has produced a whole slew of designs, and if you count up all [...]
Spoonflower recently made an important update to their color management. It was done to expand the range of colors, improve handling of gradients (which means better photographic printing), and to reduce color shifts between computer screens and fabric, and between their different base cloths.

{ Art Deco Parrot } Claire Louise Milne’s blog needlebook is one of the first craft blogs I followed. I have always admired her talents in illustration and crafting, so it is a thrill to see her designing fabric. Someone pick this girl up quick for a collection! I think these designs would appeal to [...]
One of the cool things about the Fabric Design Forum is that I have one more avenue to find artist/designers work that is new to me. Chicagoan Denise Holmes recently joined — her blog and shop are called nisee made. She is an illustrator, primarily for stationery and children’s goods, but she said she’s recently [...]
{ Mark & his wife Cara at their first Quilt Market in Salt Lake City. } Mark Cesarik describes himself as a surface designer, graphic designer, fine artist and doodler—and his fabric designs are a fusion of each of those styles. He burst onto the fabric scene with Sew Bettie, a collection of kitschy, fun [...]
Earlier this year, Michael Miller and Spoonflower launched Project Selvage, an online fabric design competition. The competition was fierce, and Houstonite Patty Sloniger emerged victorious! This market was the launch of her collection with Michael Miller. The competition theme was baby boy, so those fabrics were produced, and Patty also designed a baby girl themed [...]
