My first purchase was from the lovely Peagreengirl (click on pic to see more detail).
Her vintage inspired fabrics really excite me, I love her use of old photo's, antique script, birds, angels and even fish. Henry Fish is one of my favourites!
This one is so lovely I don't want to cut it up, perhaps I will just leave it whole and quilt it as is.
My next purchase was a gorgeous text fabric from Holliconger.
Holli has collaged random dictionary pages to come up with this very useful design. So far I have used it in my New York Beauty cushion (Piece and Press pattern) and I'm very happy with the result (yes, I must get this cushion finished!!).
Do you use Spoonflower? To buy or to design? Have you been happy with the fabrics? Or not? If you design your own fabrics, put your link in a comment, I would love to see!! xo

I subscribe to the Spoonflower newsletter and often vote on the contests, but I have never bought any of their fabric. I think I need to have a closer look!
I'm always looking there but I couldn't imagine cutting fabric that costs that much so I have yet to buy any. I'm sure I will one day however. *smile* lovely buys!!!
I ordered a yard of custom labels and also a custom fabric I made for a bee I am in. The fabric is very exclusive to the people in the bee so you probably would not like it. It is a text print with our names and blog names and locations on it.

I have so loved your feedback on my fabrics!! Thank you so very much and the photos too... It is about the most exciting thing you can imagine to design and print your very own fabrics.. It'll be exciting to see what you do with them too!!!
I love those fabrics you bought - I keep nagging her to get onto Moda and get a line made but she's very unsure of herself - I think they'd go mad - they're just too cool for school!
Your Fabrics look Lovely Cathy I find it really Interesting I'm off to check them out...
cheers
I've bought from Spoonflower and vote in their competitions regularly. Such a wealth of talent out there. The fabric I've bought was perfect perfect perfect
It took awhile to arrive... they can have quite a waiting list but I am OK with that.
I think the fabric you bought is stunning and not expensive for what you have. It is always lovely to have something that is different from the usual. It makes it more special to use.
Thank you for sharing these lovelies. Beautiful design!
I have purchased a few Heather Ross FQ, that I haven't really used yet...
; )
I've had great fun making a skirt for my daughter using her artwork for the fabric design printed by Spoonflower. I blogged about it here
I'm seriously drooling over those fabrics. I don't visit spoonflower, I'd have to have some of them. There is one there that I'm squeeling over, the ladies.
Wow! I'm off to check it out!
Gorgeous fabrics Cathy...lovely to see some unique designs.
I'm afraid that the Spoonflower fabrics I bought have become the same as the "fine china" at my house. It's hard to find a reason special enough to use them.
I drool, but their fabrics are more than my budget can handle right now.
beautiful fabric
Beautiful fabrics! Very unusual.
I have spent may happy hours surfing the moonflower site, so wonderful
not quite brave enough to order yet, but the time may have come now with your positive feedback
How very interesting. I never heard of this fabric printing service. Good for someone who wants the unusual and can afford the higher price for a yard of fabric.
Very cool fabrics. I could not cut up that collage fabric!
Wow, this looks like one to check out! Thanks for sharing this information Cathy.
Oh my gosh - now I'm writhing with want over Henry Fish!
