Spoonflower Fabric of the Week Contest: January 25, 2012
This contest delivers another amazing top ten list, at the top of which is "Say Good Night, Gracie," a design by first-time contest winner Brandy Dopkins of Wisconsin. Among the other winning fabrics you'll find odes to old radios, abacuses, lava lamps, pod chairs, cassette tapes, turntables and -- my personal favorite -- punched tape (which is how folks used to store data for computers, believe it or not).
