textile designs by holli zollinger.

if you haven't discovered spoonflower yet, it's time to jump on the fabric designing bandwagon!

not only can you design your own fabrics using designs you've created on your computer, but you can also browse through thousands of user-created designs to find the perfect fabric for your next project.

holli zollinger is one of my favorite designers on the site. i am enamored with her use of fun colors and geometric patterns mixed with organic shapes.

these are some of my favorites... don't you think they'd be perfect for a modern patchwork quilt?

three red apples.

i simply adore these works of textile art from three red apples. the bohemian, gypsy vibe is adorable and makes them the perfect gift for the free spirit or globe-trekker in your life.

claire coles

i recently started taking an adult art class called stitch & surface. our latest project is an embroidered self portrait, so i've been gathering inspiration from all the amazing textile artists i've found on the web.

one of my new favorites is claire coles. she does absolutely beautiful work... my favorite pieces of hers are embroidery on wallpaper. gorgeous!

she also makes these fantastic embroidered tea cups and mugs... tea + embroidery = love.
