Welcome
Please Vote For My Design
Please vote for my latest pattern entry for the Spoonflower's "Farmer's Market Design Challenge". The prompt is to create hand-sketched produce, playful food illustrations, cheerful florals, and artisanal details that feel fresh and colorful. My design is titled "Farmers Market Favorites" by handmadebybuffy. Voting starts 2/26/26 and closes 3/10/26. This is my fifteenth challenge entry.
​
These challenges are great publicity for my shop as well as prizes if I place in finals. You need to vote for a minimum of 3 designs so be prepared to scroll through a lot of designs. You can vote as a guest vs needing to join Spoonflower.
And thank you to everyone who voted for me previous challenges as well!! I really appreciate the support!
