I got Strike-Off from Spoonflower, today! Morning Call group was approved.

I was excited to open the package from Spoonflower.
Two groups (Morning Call and Rumba group) are approved first strike-off among 7 groups. (15 designs each)
This is pretty good!

Morning Call group was approved. They are on sale.
Some of designs in the group needs to change color or scale.
Black is weak, Red or brown need to choose darker color than looks on computer images.
May not choose closer colors. Need contrast.

Over all, they were close to my image.

Good News, 100 designs on Spoonflower!

Hello everybody,
It is a good news!!!!
I just uploaded 100 designs + more on Spoonflower site.

My shop name is,You can search "Hoodie Crescent" by Designer on spoonflower.
My previous designs for Blank Quilting (Most of them are discontinued) are reborn.
Some of the designs are same combination. Most of them are refreshed.
New color coordination!!!!

They are not selling yet. I just order swatches. I need to check colors and repeat.
We call it = Strike-offs. I can't wait they will come.
However you can check my shop.

A Digital World is giving freedom for creations to everybody. It is amazing.
I haven't put new designs for a while (Two years?) on my Zazzle store, "Hoodie's Patch"
Even though, I'm getting customers! I'm selling my stuff once a while.
I suggested wedding gifts by Zazzle (Order-made original gifts) to Japanese magazine that was looking for something "NEW" for their article 4 years ago when my Medetai was released.
The medetai motifs were great match as wedding gifts.
However,,,,,,
It was too earlier to introduced it to Japan. Zazzle was still in USA and UK.
It was so complicated for ordering and costs of shipping.
Now days, Zazzle has been in Japan, so anyone can order in Japan and get them from USA very quick and reasonable shipping fee, too.

Again, I say, "Amazing!" The world gets smaller.

4 years ago, I was looking for digital prints on fabrics. It wasn't easy like Spoonflower.!

I had made my target 100 designs on Spoonflower.
It wasn't difficult at all. I'm enjoying new groups from my previous groups!!!
Click each title, you see the designs. Hoodie's Fabric designs are coordinated even from different groups.

You have choices for,

  • Fabrics ( Organic Cotton sateen, Organic Cotton knit, Linen-cotton Canvas, Upholstery weight cotton twill, cotton silk cotton voile, Kona cotton, more ...)
  • Size of designs (You can adjust the size of images)

I see the colors, the colors are not brighter than screen print.

Please, don't disappoint when you put it with my reglar fabrics.

It is a different process for printing.
So that, I re-coordinated new colors for Spoonflower's.
It is expensive for per yard. However you can get 10 or more different fabrics. (I'm interested Linen-cotton Canvas, Organic Cotton knit!!!!!!)
I'm planning to make free small projects idea using my fabrics.

Coming groups from previous groups
  • Lovely Morning + Dottie Mushroom and Coordinates
  • Three Dots group
  • Veggie Patch and coordinates
  • Natureland
After I put previous groups, I want to try my designs for their contests.
It is a good challenge always.

I'm going to put more designs on Hoodie's Patch's products soon. Hope!

Instant March Calendar

Click the image!
Print it out and put it wherever you want.
Peach Cobbler

Cobbler filling:

  • 4 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds to remove the skins)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Cobbler crust:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, for topping
  • Whipped cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Generously butter a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish. Place the sliced peaches in the dish and sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and flour. Mix gently and spread evenly again. Bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile combine all dry ingredients for cobbler crust in a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers, to make the texture like coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir to form a soft dough.
Remove fruit from oven and drop rounded spoonfuls of dough on top. Sprinkle with last tablespoon of brown sugar and return to oven. Bake until fruit is bubbly and crust topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream.
