Product Description
Garlands from the Deck The Halls Collection by Geetanjali Behera for Thread & Ink Designs
A joyful string of Christmas treasures
Garlands gathers an assortment of colourful Christmas decorations against a rich, warm red background. Loosely strung in gently curving rows, the motifs include patterned baubles, bells, stockings, stars, gingerbread-style trees, snowflakes, candy canes, hearts and sprigs of mistletoe, with the occasional little bird adding another charming detail. Raspberry pink, coral, mustard, teal, mint and soft blue sit alongside traditional festive reds and greens, giving the design the distinctive folk-inspired colour and illustrative character of the Deck The Halls Collection.
There is plenty to discover across this festive cotton print, yet the garland arrangement gives the individual motifs definition and creates a natural sense of movement across the fabric. In patchwork and quilting, Garlands would work particularly well in larger blocks, borders and backing sections where the rows of decorations can remain visible. It could also be fussy cut to pick out individual ornaments for smaller blocks, appliqué details or Christmas-themed textile art.
The strong red ground makes this an equally useful Christmas fabric for home décor and seasonal sewing. Use it for table runners, placemats, fabric baskets, cushion covers, stockings or reusable gift bags, or bring its playful ornament motifs into project bags, zipped pouches and other festive accessories. Its broad colour palette provides plenty of options for coordinating fabrics: teal or green can temper the warmth of the red, while pink, coral and mustard bring out the collection's more contemporary side.
Pair Garlands with blenders that pick up one or two of its accent colours, or combine it with other prints from the Deck The Halls Collection by Geetanjali Behera for a layered Christmas palette with a cohesive folk-art feel. Printed on 100% cotton at 145gsm, this quilt-weight fabric is suitable for patchwork and quilting, home décor sewing, bag making, accessories and general craft projects. For makers looking for red Christmas quilting fabric, colourful festive cotton or Christmas ornament fabric in the UK, Garlands offers a lively alternative to more conventional seasonal prints.
