Product Description
Trees in Purples from the Hill Shine by Robert Kaufman
A twilight woodland layered in moody purples and cool blues
Trees in Purples is an atmospheric, richly layered cotton print that evokes the quiet drama of a forest at dusk. Part of the Hill Shine collection by Robert Kaufman, this design features repeating evergreen tree silhouettes arranged in vertical rhythms, overlaid in a complex palette of plum, aubergine, indigo, charcoal, and cool teal. Soft grey and pale lilac tones lighten the background, while delicate flecks of warm golden yellow add contrast and a subtle sense of light filtering through the trees.
The overlapping tree forms create depth and movement across the fabric, making it particularly effective for patchwork and quilting projects that benefit from texture without strict geometric structure. It works beautifully as a background fabric, adding interest while allowing pieced blocks to stand out, or as a feature print in modern landscape quilts and nature-inspired designs. The deeper purple tones bring a sense of calm and sophistication, well suited to autumnal or evening-themed colour palettes.
For home décor sewing, Trees in Purples lends itself well to cushions, table runners, and wall hangings, introducing a refined woodland feel into interior spaces. Bag makers and accessory sewists will appreciate how the layered colours and organic shapes add richness to tote bags, project bags, and pouches, especially when paired with plain cottons or subtle textured blenders. Within the Hill Shine collection, this print coordinates effortlessly with the wave, mountain, and sky designs, allowing for thoughtful contrast between flowing, graphic, and natural elements.
Printed on high-quality 100% cotton with a weight of 145gsm, this fabric offers a smooth hand and dependable structure suitable for quilting, patchwork, and a wide range of craft sewing projects. Whether used as a grounding element or a statement fabric, Trees in Purples brings depth, mood, and versatility, making it an excellent choice for sewists seeking purple woodland quilting cotton in the UK.
