Stitch Craft Collection
Here’s what I’ve got so far for my Stitch Craft fabric collection on Spoonflower…
Stitch Craft
One more new design. I plan to play with the colors and layout on this one a lot more. But this is the first version. I was aiming for a design that I could do in a lot of colorways…I doodled these little icons. I figure I can do just sewing, just embroidery and just… Read More
Hexagons, revisited again.
First I started out touting the miracle of paper piecing hexagons. Then I quickly figured out that basting in the little papers was double the work - for me, anyway. Many people swear by it. So I made this handy tutorial for hand-piecing with no paper. I still think this method is the best for… Read More
Some new fabric designs
These are in my spoonflower library now. I’m ordering swatches to see what the colors really look like. I’m still fiddling around with layout. I can’t seem to get my vision of safari animals at the watering hole to work out. But the costume dudes are still fun. I’d love your feedback, you lovely multitude… Read More

Bee Happy

Not very impressive - 2.5 yards used and 18 items made. 18 sounds like a lot, but camera straps just don’t use much yardage. I just need more sewing time! Someone sent me a convo today… Read More
Blabbery
**Update, 3/7/2010: I noticed yesterday that they removed the plum gnomes from the lineup. I guess they’re working on the dye! I’m still plugging away at stashbusters. I did a lot of sewing this weekend, but unfortunately, camera straps don’t use much fabric. I would say I used 2 1/4 yards of fabric this weekend,… Read More
Heather Ross on Spoonflower
Gnomes!!! Mushrooms!!! Wildflowers!!! I want all of the fabrics but I can’t afford them! My fingers are crossed that anyone will be able to order a swatch collection from anyone soon. Right now, only designers can order their own swatch collection. But why would I want my own fabrics when I can have Heathers??? No… Read More
