Umbrella prints are vibrant and bold but soothing, almost whimsical (but certainly not silly), with clean lines and fresh designs.

Umbrella Prints fabric is...exactly what I have been looking for! Each fabric is so bright and graphic. Any of the prints would work in my house.
yr fabrics make me want to TOUCH them. texture, ahhh.
I think Umbrella prints are gorgeous fabrics with an organic sensibility (in a design sense as well as ecological). I bought the kit to make the flip dolls some time ago and I saved every little precious scrap (which I later used to make my daughter potholders for her play kitchen).
Graphic, bold, colorful, AMAZING!!!!
The hand drawn feel of these fabrics is incredible, really special. And what a great palate! Happy Earth Day!
Fresh and cheerful. A way of brightening up my day!
graphic! love them all :]
I love your fabrics, they are down-to-earth yet modern and colorful.
