Cowboy Teddies Cheater Quilt Pattern

 I had fun creating these cute Cowboy Teddies.

I created a cheater quilt pattern with them in three colourways - blue, sage green and soft brown.

They can be found under my "Wild West" collection on Spoonflower.

Cottagecore Geese - Surface Pattern Design

 I had so much fun creating this pattern for the latest #Spoonflower Cottagecore Wallpaper challenge.

I took the photos of the geese years ago at property I stayed at in Deloraine, Tasmania. I always loved the pose of the one that is facing straight on but never quite got around to painting him in acrylics - he just seemed perfect for this pattern though.

I am planning on adding to this collection - I want to create a tossed version that just features the geese - just deciding if I use these three or add a few more poses into the mix

I have added 4 colorways with 3 scales to my #Spoonflower shop, and they can be found under the Designed Collection - Cozy Countryside .
