Shameless self promotion

So.... the voting has opened up for the Rain contest at Spoonflower. My entry, Rain.Rain. is one of 368 entries. If you feel like going through a mind numbing exercise of choosing your favorite Rain fabric design the link is here:

Spoonflower Rain contest

Of course I don't expect you to choose mine over others that pique your interest...though you can vote for more than one and adding mine to your choices would be pretty simple....just sayin'   Next time I do this I will create a larger preview within the contest entries. For now the image looks too small on the contest list.

You will also be able to see the 10 finalists that were chosen for the Project Selvage contest. Funny, none of the ones I voted for made it into the mix. I may need to tweek my fashion sense a bit.

Here is a reminder of what Rain Rain looks like:

drat!....whew....

didn't make it into the top 75 applicants with the OH BOY! fabric. Project Selvage had over 940 entries. Have to admit to a peculiar sense of relief. Maybe not so ready for prime time.......

But I did order a yard of the fabric so that I can make something for my beautiful grandsons. You can see the final design here:

Oh Boy! Blue

Rain. Rain. Sun

Here is the Rain. Rain. pattern again. This time with some sun.

Any thoughts? Too much?

Today's pattern inspired by seed pods

The yard is full of buds a bursting and they all seem connected to the same invisible web of beginning. Here is a pattern in their honor. Yellow Hubs.

Having spent so much time today on the phone, this drawing expresses my feelings. My niece Vivian drew it, I added some flourish.
