I first learned about Jess Quinn’s textile creations via Kickcan & Conkers. I was so drawn in by her quirky & unique style. The legs of some of her characters reminded me of the artwork of my old roommate in grad school- which gave me a nostalgic smile. I’ve been following the twisted yarn blog ever since.
While I’m particularly fond of the quinnknits stuffed sculptures, the illustrations are gorgeous too. Excitingly enough, I just learned that Jess has been experimenting with Spoonflower lately!
I know I’ve mentioned this many times before, but this is a process that I’m particularly intrigued with – I love the idea of merging illustrations & textiles. I have had hopes to experiment with this process using my thread drawings, sometime in the near future. When I have a window of time open up (whenever that may be). Here are some examples of the fabrics that may be popping up in the quinnknits etsy shop soon. Aren’t they cool? Happy Fabric Friday everyone!

Ok, so Friday turned into Saturday rather quickly for me. The days are starting to blend together a bit. However, I have fun fabric find to share with you for Fabric Friday. Do you ever see something that someone made and wonder where they got their fabric? I do all of the time. I bought this great little dog plush from Alice Apple about a year ago & had been drooling over the bright, cheerful fabrics that she used for her creations ever since.
I recently visited the Alice Apple website and discovered that Alice Burrows (of Alice Apple) is now selling her fabric designs through Spoonflower! I think it is so wonderful that we live in a time that designing you own fabric is so accessible, along with being able to buy other independent designers fabrics as well. The nice thing is that you can select your favorite colors & design – then select the kind of fabric that you would like it printed on.
Alice’s love of vintage fabric comes through her designs which is why I respond to them so strongly. Plus, how could you not smile when you look at them? What would you make with her fabrics? Happy Fabric Fraturday!{images via here & here -except the dog one is mine}
