Product Description
Glacier Arctic Thyme from the Heima by Gudrun Erla for Andover Fabrics
Rich Arctic-thyme purple with crystalline rock texture
Glacier Arctic Thyme celebrates the vivid purples found in Iceland’s hardy wildflowers, translated into a richly tonal print with geological depth. Layers of amethyst, heather and night-violet form a crystalline rock motif—like river stones seen beneath clear glacial water—so the fabric reads as a refined near-solid from a distance while offering lively movement up close. Rooted in the spirit of Heima, where home is shaped by land and memory, this shade brings a modern Nordic mood to piecing and sits beautifully with the collection’s moss greens, basalt greys, glacier blues and warm currant reds. As a purple quilting cotton, it’s ideal for star points and flying geese, for borders that frame without shouting, and for backgrounds where subtle texture adds interest. Naturally woven long-tail phrases include: purple quilting cotton, violet cotton print UK, Iceland-inspired quilting fabric, textured blender for patchwork.
Versatile across projects, Glacier Arctic Thyme suits quilts, cushions, table runners, placemats and fabric storage, bringing a confident yet elegant note to home décor. Bag makers will appreciate how the small-to-medium motif curves neatly around seams and pairs effortlessly with silver or matte black hardware for zip pouches, organisers and structured totes. Printed on premium 100% cotton, width 44"/112cm, weight 145gsm, it sews smoothly, presses crisply and is suitable for both machine and hand quilting. For cohesive makes, pair with other Heima prints: cool glacier lights for clarity, charcoal rock tones for definition, or earthy greens for a landscape palette that echoes Iceland’s tundra. This purple textured blender is a reliable staple for patchwork & quilting, home décor sewing, bag making and textile art—bringing botanical colour and geological texture to every stitch.
