This week I received the printed fabric samples of my vintage camping design and they have come out quite nicely, although I would say that wouldn't I???!!!
See what you think, there are 5 colour options and all are now for sale in the Spoonflower Marketplace, bit pricey though, I think a FQ is $11.
The design is quite a big repeat, to give an idea, the tent you can see measures 9cm across.

NOTE: I just wanted to mention this, incase anyone buys fabric of any sort from Spoonflower. Once you hit the limit of £15 worth of goods (which can easily be a yard of fabric + postage, about $25), there is a duty charge and Royal Mail admin fee to bring your parcel into the country. I have been stung with this charge on one occasion and the Royal Mail admin fee was a horrendous £8 to collect my parcel. Please be aware of that, if buying fat quarters then there's no problem.
The last couple of days I've been working on some camping illustrations for my fabric design entry into this weeks Spoonflower contest. The theme as we near the end of summer is of course camping.
I have gone down the route of retro caravans and tents and in digital collage style I have jazzed up my drawings with vintage and retro fabric.
Here is the work in progress, I'm currently preparing the artwork at fat quarter size and trying to get the pattern to repeat. Finished designs coming soon.
