Product Description
Glow Thistle from the Friday Night by Karen Lewis for Andover Fabrics
A soft stitched stripe in gentle thistle and muted lavender tones
Glow Thistle is a beautifully understated blender from Karen Lewis’s Friday Night collection, inspired by the subtle glow of engraved candlesticks that illuminate her weekly dinner table. This print features a vertical stitched-stripe motif composed of fine dash marks and delicate fan-shaped accents, creating a sense of soft movement and hand-stitched charm. Set against a muted thistle-lavender ground, the design offers a calm, contemporary elegance that is easy to pair with both warm and cool palettes. The gentle colour story and refined linework give the fabric a textured yet airy feel, ideal for makers who appreciate subtle, modern blenders with personality.
Crafted from 100% cotton (145gsm), Glow Thistle provides a smooth and stable hand that supports precision piecing, applique, sashing, borders and detailed patchwork layouts. Its vertical patterning lends itself beautifully to directional designs, making it a strong choice for tote bags, project pouches, storage baskets and structured accessories. In home décor sewing, the muted lavender tone introduces a soft, tranquil touch suitable for cushions, table linens, bedroom accents and seasonal décor with a gentle, modern aesthetic. The stitched-effect details add texture without overpowering surrounding prints, making Glow Thistle a highly versatile coordinate.
Within the Friday Night palette, Glow Thistle pairs seamlessly with cool blenders such as Bevel Orchid, Posy Iris and Napkin Grape, creating serene, cohesive combinations. It also softens and balances stronger tones like Posy Rose, Posy Grande Tomato and Glow Coral, adding clarity and calm to multi-fabric projects. Whether used to introduce subtle texture, unify a palette or add gentle contrast to bold motifs, Glow Thistle brings sophistication, versatility and quiet beauty to quilts, accessories and contemporary home décor inspired by the warmth and ritual of gathering at the table.
