Australia has so many talented designers! I made the above pillow from two fat quarters of Spoonflower linen-cotton canvas. The fabric is printed with "A Heaven in a Wild Flower" taken from an original oil painting done by Spoonflower designer Rhonda W. This beautiful painting was inspired by William Blake's poem "Augeries of Innocence." Because Spoonflower does digital printing on its fabrics, gift wrap and wallpaper, all the wonderful brush strokes and details can be seen in the finished product.
Another thing to keep in mind when browsing Spoonflower, if you see a design you like but it isn't the right size for the width of fabric you want or perhaps you need the same design but in a different colorway, send a message to the designer. He or she will be happy to work with you to get the design you want. The reason I bring this up is because originally this design was available in a smaller repeat version. I sent Rhonda a message asking if she could resize it for a fat quarter of linen-cotton canvas and she did and now I have this beautiful throw pillow sitting in my living room in Oklahoma.
