the one where the postman brings Heather Ross



The postman knocked twice today. It's a good thing too, because I was off fiddling about and barely heard him. He stood around for a second knock. In his hands was my parcel from Spoonflower. I picked up some of the Heather Ross collection they are now selling. I ordered about a meter of each print. It just made economic sense, but was probably a bit of an over-order for my needs. I'm not sure how I feel about the fabric quality yet. It's different and not as brillant as other lines by her. Did you get any? What do you think?

Edit: I should have mentioned that I already know about Spoonflower's fade-factor before I bought. I plan to use these for items less frequently washed like wallets, wall hangings and notebook covers, etc...

  2. I haven't had a feel of them yet but they are rather pretty.
    Maybe they'll soften up after a wash!?!

  3. It looks lovely. Let us know how it washes up. I've been so tempted by Spoonflower, I am sure I will order something from there at some stage.

  5. So very tempted to buy some. You might want to try test washing first, I just saw this on flickr the other day http://www.flickr.com/photos/11799285@N07/4392108869/.

  7. Love, love, love the gnomes and mushies.

    I thought the fade thing was only experienced with the purple fabrics, will have to read Banquo's thread again.

    Enjoy your gorgeous new fabric - I'm green with envy! ;-)

  8. Love those gnomes... might have to buy some yet. I've been so good about avoiding though...

  9. I am sooooo jealous! Was just saying to some sewing friends the other day how I was trying to justify buying some of these.
    Heather says the Lightening bugs range is next -oh dear my credit card is in danger!
