I Spy Spoonflower Assortment: Eden

I learned so very much doing I Spy: Spoonflower Swap 1 & Swap 2. A lot. Like:

- there are a lot of people who love I Spy.

- there are a lot of people who love Spoonflower.

- there are a lot of people who love I Spy: Spoonflower Swaps.

- running a swap for Spoonflower I Spy sets is a crazy amount of work.

- even knowing what I was doing the second time, it took 2 months to finish

- the post office people shoot daggers with their eyes when you walk up with 55 packages.

- they flat out reject you if you try to mail one that's already been metered

- Spoonflower shipping times can vary greatly.

- taste in I Spies varies greatly.

- even after all of the work, I really love the fabric.

So, as a result of all that I learned, I decided to try something. A small experiment. If I simplify things a bit in terms of what was required for a swap... can I at least pay the overhead costs of curating my own set? And secondly, since a partner is required, given the need for space and help, can we both earn a little for the time required? Kind of a scary leap. But one that I'm totally exhilarated to make. 

Please allow me to introduce: Eden.

She's a lovely set of 56 different 5" squares. Behold the eye candy:

So many amazing Spoonflower designs in one package. And if you'd like to see the individual links to Spoonflower fabrics on their site, you can find them here conveniently sorted by keyword. The thing about Spoonflower fabrics is... you never know when a designer will make a print unavailable for one reason or another. So there's no telling whether when this set is gone, we'd be able to duplicate it. Also, If you're a Spoonflower fan who's in-the-know, you know that Spoonflower has just introduced Kona cotton as a new substrate. These were printed on the original quilting cotton that has a lower weight/higher thread count. In case you're wondering.

If you'd like to see it in the brand spanking new crafterhours shop, you can find it here. Each package is ready for shipping-- and we're happy to include a gift message if you'd like.

If you want to be added to the mailing list so that you're sure to be the first to hear about future crafterhours products click here. There may be a few fun discounts to be had that way, too.

Since this is our great big grand opening, you can enter code "GRAND" at checkout for free domestic shipping now through February 5. Some people want to send flowers or chocolate... I'd go with fabric any time.

This is just one of those things born out of crafty necessity. The people demanded it! Uh... they also demanded a second set. I'll tell you more about that one tomorrow. Are you worried that crafterhours may become one neverending advertisement? I promise to keep it down. The even MORE exciting announcement won't come until April. (No, I'm not having a baby. That's all Adrianna's thing this year.)
