Product Description
Desert from the Glaze III by Libs Elliot for Andover Fabrics
Earthy beige with speckled texture
Desert from the Glaze III collection by Libs Elliot for Andover Fabrics reflects the warmth of sunbaked landscapes with its sandy beige base and subtle painterly texture. Scattered with olive-toned speckles, the design carries a natural, earthy quality that feels both grounded and modern. Its neutral yet distinctive palette makes it an adaptable blender, offering makers a way to bring depth and balance to a variety of quilting and sewing projects. At once understated and characterful, Desert is a versatile fabric that bridges soft neutrals and rich earthy tones.
For patchwork and quilting, Desert is an ideal choice for backgrounds, sashing, or blocks where a warm neutral supports brighter colours or stronger prints. Its organic look also makes it appealing for home décor projects such as cushions, table runners, or wall hangings that benefit from a natural palette. Bag makers will find its earthy tone a practical yet stylish base, well-suited for everyday totes or accessories with a contemporary finish. Its subtle speckled detail adds interest without overpowering, making it a fabric that enhances both simple and intricate designs.
Made from 100% cotton and measuring 44”/112cm wide with a medium weight of 145gsm, Desert is durable, easy to sew, and works beautifully for both hand and machine techniques. It pairs effortlessly with other fabrics in the Glaze III range, particularly cooler greys like Ash or darker shades like Ink for contrast, and harmonises well with lighter neutrals such as Cream. With its earthy warmth and versatile texture, Desert is an essential addition for makers seeking a modern quilting cotton with a natural feel.
