Product Description
Napkin Olive from the Friday Night by Karen Lewis for Andover Fabrics
A warm, earthy plaid inspired by the textures of a shared table
Napkin Olive brings a grounded, elegant warmth to the Friday Night collection, reflecting the practical beauty of the napkins that feature so prominently in Karen Lewis’s weekly dinner table ritual. This design presents a classic plaid with fine lines of soft gold, muted lavender and gentle cream arranged across a rich olive backdrop. The interplay of warm tones with cooler accents introduces a sophisticated depth, giving this print a balanced, woven appearance that feels both contemporary and timeless. Its structured geometry and earthy palette make it an ideal choice for quilters and sewists who enjoy blending tradition with modern design.
Made from premium 100% cotton (145gsm), Napkin Olive offers a smooth, dependable hand—perfect for precise patchwork, directional cutting and clean, crisp seams. The subtle yet distinctive plaid makes an excellent feature for quilt blocks, sashing, borders and backing fabric. Its warm olive tone also complements a wide variety of colour stories, making it particularly useful in autumnal and nature-inspired quilts. In home décor sewing, this print adds understated sophistication to cushions, placemats, table runners and fabric storage pieces, where its muted geometry can enhance or anchor interior palettes. For bag makers, Napkin Olive provides a refined backdrop for structured totes, organisers and accessories, pairing beautifully with brass or antique-finish hardware.
Within the Friday Night range, Napkin Olive harmonises wonderfully with the collection’s florals—Posy and Posy Grande—offering a grounding contrast to their organic shapes. It also complements the uplifting warmth of Glow and the freshness of Bevel Powder, creating a palette that is cohesive yet full of character. Whether used to introduce structure, add a hint of vintage-inspired charm or enrich a modern colour scheme, Napkin Olive brings depth, versatility and quiet elegance to quilts, crafts and textile art rooted in the comfort and ritual of shared meals.
