From the 'Veggies' collection by Martha Negley, produced by Free Spirit fabrics, 'Parsley' in the dark colourway (first photo) has delicate sprigs of the herb scattered across a dark blue background.
Quantities are limited, and I can't reorder.
Printed on patchwork weight cotton, this fabric also makes an unusual coordinate for my sashiko panels, and the colours can be matched from my extensive range of sashiko threads. Free Spirit fabrics are printed on a 68 count cotton rather than the 60 count used for many other brands, meaning they are slightly finer than many patchwork fabrics and are also suitable for making clothing.
111cm (44in) wide.
100% cotton
NB - sold by the half metre, so order '2' for 1 metre, '3' for 1.5m etc.
PWMN006-DARK 'Parsley' from Veggies by Martha Negley, by 1/2m
For 40+ years I’ve been painting decorative patterns. In the late ‘70s, after art school I started as a colorist for a small textile company in New York that was producing women’s apparel fabrics. For extra money, I worked out repeats on the side. It was a memorable time living in one of the only women’s hotels in an exciting city, but I was broke!
I re-located to the Midwest to work for a greeting card company and for many years designed giftwrap and paper plate patterns. I started to overlap that with freelancing for home décor fabric and wallpaper companies, and finally in 1994 I decided to leave and start my own design company. Ten years later I met Kaffe Fasset and Liza Prior Lucy who were walking SURTEX, the surface design show in New York where I exhibited every spring and that led to many happy years of working with Westminster Fabrics. I took a break in 2014, and I’m now returning to painting for FreeSpirit Fabrics. I still live and work in Kansas City, painting, growing roses, baking, fly fishing,doing volunteer work and caring for my old wire fox terrier.
