Christmas in June new work

8 inch block... changes made to the design.
Due to some comments on my last blog post I made some changes to my designs and also created a couple more to add to the collection.






Repeated....
 I wonder if you can notice the changes and WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THEM? :-)

I've also made a couple of other designs that use the same colours. This then enables the quilter to have more latitude when planning the quilt. :-)
Stripy blocks
Two different colourways of the same sort of design...

Now I prefer the blue toned one. To me it would go much better with the rest of the collection.

I may go and design one with balls.. to imitate the decorations on the trees... hmm I wonder what that would look like :-)

Christmas in June

Wow what a shock, Christmas in June.. well I'm thinking of fabrics for Christmas quilting and the other day someone was talking about needing some fabric with snowmen on them..I thought hey great idea I'll  design some and stick them on my Spoonflower site.

So first of all I designed this one...
Snowmen Dancing

I'm sort of sure that this ..what you see here is about 10 inches wide.. The cream writing isn't on the design of course, that's just to let everyone know that the design belongs to ME! :-)







Then I went on and designed an accompaniment to this and here it is:
Christmas trees and Snowmen
This is hopefully an 8 inch square.. I'll find out when I upload it onto Spoonflower...
The repeat looks like this:
The address on spoonflower is this www.spoonflower.com/profiles/Art_on_fabric

I thought that this would be a great design to cut blocks from ... I'd love some constructive criticism from you all... really and truly! 
Have I got the back ground the wrong colour? what do you think it should be? 

I'm going to do some stripes or something as another one to go with these two... or, if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them!!!! 
Cheers for now.
