Umbrella prints fabrics evoke a childhood summer spent in nature - somewhere in the country with flowering hillsides and sun and a warm breeze. The fabrics remind me of cute bubbly folk songs like the ones Vashti Bunyan would play. That is how I would describe them at least, they are some of my favorite fabrics!

When I first saw the colors and the texture of the fabric, I thought the only description could be "Earth". I look at it and it reminds me of the Earth. Browns, blues, greens... Then I looked at the fun prints and I think it is just so "Happy". So, I guess my description is "Happy Earth". :)

The combination of cotton and hemp or cotton and linen in the fabric content gives your cloth a distinctive texture and look. This, along with the modern designs that evoke nature, makes it especially attractive.

Happy Earth Day, Ladies!

I love your fabrics because I see them as clean and fresh and engaging in a world that can be depressingly floral-laden and heavy handed - I can look at your fabrics and breathe.

And just as an aside - I was booking an artist for an exhibition at The Wheaty the other day, and one of her prints had a little umbrella prints elephant cushion in it! So sweet!
