We're pleased to let you know that the winner of our ice cream-themed Fabric Of the Week contest is Jeni Paltiel, a talented graphic designer who won two previous contests, one using an amazing paper collage made from bits of leaves, and the other our competition to create a bunting kit. This time her design emerged as the winner from nearly 200 ice-cream-loving entries, so today's win is doubly sweet. Nice work, Jeni! Read more about Ice Cream Fabric Never Looked So Sweet!.
