Bowling Fabric
Spoonflower Fabric of the Week Contest: September 07, 2011
Continuing with our tradition of holding the occasional sports-themed design competition (fishing fabric, anyone?), this week's bowling contest offered a tournament's worth of fabulous fabrics. The winner -- by a healthy margin -- was Jennifer Wambach, a New York artist who has now won four Fabric Of the Week competitions ( Hawaiian cheater quilt, alphabet, pointillism), which puts her in a very elite group of designers in our community. Congratulations, Jennifer! The top ten bowling designs all look amazing, of course. On a personal note, I much prefer bowling to golf because it's much harder to lose the ball.
