The same designer who won our snow-fabric contest a few months ago -- Cean Irminger of Machipongo, Virginia -- this week becomes the second person to win two contests.  Her whimsical "Whatever happened to my garden clog?" fabric is the footware-themed Fabric Of the Week. Congratulations, Cean!

TrueUp.net, a great blog about fabric, just published an interview with designer Laurie Wisbrun, who has a line of fabric coming out through Robert Kaufman this spring. Long-time followers of our contest may remember Laurie's "Birdies in Chairs," an early winner. We are thrilled at Laurie's success and flattered to have played a small role in helping her along the path to becoming a professional textile designer.

Upcoming contest themes include a palette-restricted fifties theme, cocktails, and puppet patterns. You can find more information on the upcoming contests page of our blog.  Thank you for participating in our community!

Cheers,
Stephen
