2nd Place for My First Toile!

Well! This is very exciting! While I’ve always loved toiles, I’ve not tried creating any because of the obvious time suck they’d require. Well, this time I couldn’t avoid it if I wanted to enter the Spoonflower challenge, “Toile with a Twist”. I haven’t missed a challenge since I started more than 2 years ago and I wasn’t about to start now.

Well, it was indeed a time suck but I am so glad I went for it since my “Birds & Birders Toile de Jouy” pattern just placed 2nd out of 772 entries! What a thrill!

Biggest thanks and thanks and thanks to all voters! I’m absolutely thrilled to bits!!
