Spoonflower Fabric of the Week Contest: September 26, 2012

We take pride in offering the earth's largest selection of geeky fabrics, but for this particular competition we decided to take that to the next level by asking designers to create earth science fabrics. Our winner is fabric designer -- and archaeologist, no less -- Erica Pitcairn of Murex Textile Designs. Congratulations!

Fabric8: geek chic finals

This is the final round of the 2013 Fabric8 Contest. Each finalist will submit a four-fabric collection. Fabric8 is an annual contest to discover eight bold, modern fabric collections from designers the world has yet to hear from. The ultimate winner of the contest will receive a chance to release a collection through Robert Kaufman. See the contest home page for details and rules. Voting begins June 6th.

Farmers market

In honor of the many edible pleasures that arrive alongside the warm season everywhere, this week we want designers to create fabric designs celebrating farmers' markets. Previews will be shown at the fat quarter fabric size (21" x 18"). Deadline for entry is Tuesday, June 11, 2013 (after the Fabric8 final round).

Midsummer nights dream (palette-restricted)

With summer solstice arriving on June 21, we decided to make this contest all about fabric designs inspired by Shakespeare's play, Midsummer Night's Dream. All designs submitted must use a restricted palette (visible here). Previews will be shown at the fat quarter fabric size (21" x 18"). Deadline for entry is Tuesday, June 18, 2013.

The theme this time around is fairly simple: create a fabric design built around the visual motif of citrus fruits (one or more). Previews will be shown at the fat quarter fabric size (21" x 18"). Deadline for entry is Tuesday, June 25, 2013.
