It was a long wait with it being more than a month from online ordering to actually receiving the fabrics, but that is due to the parcel crossing the currently closed US - Canada border. I was just thankful they let my parcel cross the border eventually.
There are so many Spoonflower choices and you have to read carefully so you order cotton fabric instead of wallpaper or something you don't want!
I ordered 8 fat quarters of coronavirus fabric and have no idea what it will become. It might become a face mask, a tea towel, or maybe part of my UNITY quilt backing. I just wanted to have some as a souvenir of this crazy year. It's kind of like all that Y2K fabric we had to have in the year 2000, and we keep laughing about it not getting used up 20 years later!

The fabric is very stiff/crunchy so I hope it becomes softer after washing. Spoonflower has some really cool face mask fabrics/kits available and a program where they donate one mask for every mask kit purchased.
Full disclosure... this fabric is very expensive! The cost was $18 (Canadian) per fat quarter! But I justified it to myself as a "once in a lifetime" purchase, and I had the money to spend since I haven't gone anywhere or done anything (except work and quilt) in 6 months! What are you doing with your vacation money?

Love that fabric! But not sure if I want to remember this crazy time.
ReplyDeleteOh, that fabric is great! I might have to go take a look. Love the TP one.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I know what you mean about the cost on Spoonflower, but you do get some really unique fabrics there - like these. I recently purchased fabrics created by a friend. That’s exciting. Need to check out the mask kits.

Those are fun - very tempting!
ReplyDeleteYou are a bad influence! I just placed on order after seeing your cute fabric selections.
ReplyDeleteThanks for today's smile at your expense!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know covid fabric existed. I got a new sewing machine with some of our vacation money
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI just got my order from Spoonflower yesterday which I ordered about 3.5 weeks ago. Great fabric! Don't be put off by the large selvedge, the fabric is larger than quilt shop fabric so the printed part is quilt shop size and totally usable. They do recommend washing first so I will see how that goes.
It will be interesting to see how you end up using these Covid-19 fabrics. Those smiling TP rolls are TOO cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot--the fabrics are quite a statement on this interesting time in history.
ReplyDeleteI am glad we quilters don't have to vacation in the bedroom or living room--we can have a spa day in the sewing room!
Very cool fabrics. Spoonflower does have some really cool stuff. I ordered some chemistry themed fat quarters when they offered them for half off back in April, when we were all staying home. If you are looking for something novel, they definitely have it.
ReplyDeleteLove all the covid fabrics! They will have future quilters excited when they see some of that fabric in one of your quilts! LOL If I haven't thanked you lately thankyou for hosting Slow Stitching Sundays!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics. Spoonflower is an hour from me, I should really schedule a tour when this is over.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ordered from Spoonflower since it is so expensive (and I don't have to pay all the extra fees). I like the toilet paper fabric.
