Storage space constraints meant I often can't stock complete ranges, so I choose my favourites to share with you. These are two prints I loved from the 'Exotic Garden Palace' collection by Denise Burkitt for FreeSpirit. This listing is for 'Banyan Tree - Lush' (first photo) and is in gorgeous shades of yellows, rust, and olive greens, with a transluscent watercolour effect. I thought this would go well with many other fabrics I stock, including those by Billy Reue, and I just love these greeny yellowy colour combinations!
Designed for patchwork, they would also be great for dressmaking and lightweight home dec. This range would add a fantastic hand painted/printed look to your fabrics - they remind me very much of breakdown screenprints.
They would make great coordinates for some of my sashiko panels, and the colours can be matched from my extensive range of sashiko threads - there's a wide range to choose from. In particular, this makes me think of 20m #71 or #95, or 100m #155. A border for the hitomezashi hanafukin sashiko sampler, 'Leaf', would be fun - it is a design with a strong diagonal slant, so I could have fun arranging the diagonal in 'Banyan Tree' to either slant the same direction, or the opposite way. It would make a lovely autumnal wall hanging.
108cm (43in) wide.
100% cotton
NB - sold by the half metre, so order '2' for 1 metre, '3' for 1.5m etc.
