Today is Spoonflower.com's free swatch day! Who wouldn't love to get custom designed fabric? Now you can test it out at a great bargain. You only get two but it still is worth it. I ordered three and gave 5USD to Heifer International. Heifer International give livestock and such to families as a way to give them a way out of poverty. It is really super cool.

Spoonflower has also added a couple of new fabrics; organic cotton knit and bamboo-cotton poplin. I got a swatch of each of those and the third is the standard quilting weight.
