COLOR: Read color note before purchasing.

This cheerful and vibrant hand printed piece from 1981 is titled “Urupan” #07130 in the Bailey & Griffin archive. This mid to heavy weight cotton with a firm hand and feel is perfect for adding a punch of color to a Florida Room or some other tropical-feeling space. Perfect for pillow fronts.

The expressive lines in this piece make it a standout — very energetic and uplifting. Hand printed!

COLORS: My pics make the whole piece look darker. Pics #8 & #9 were taking in direct sunlight to give a truer sense of the colors. The background is what I would call “creamsicle.” That perfectly nails the color if you know of the creamsicle. The liquid in this picture is the color: https://www.liveeatlearn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/healthy-orange-dreamsicle-smoothie-5-680.jpg

There is also classic orange, burnt orange, and the teals are slightly lighter than pictured.

MAKERS: Bailey & Griffin was founded in 1923 as an importer of textile designs coming from the UK firm Arthur H. Lee & Co., but by the mid 60s was sourcing raw textiles and designing their own line of traditionally inspired prints, all handprinted! Like so many other fabric houses there were plenty of mergers with the B&G archive ultimately ending up in the Duralee family of fabrics.

SIZE: 26.5″ wide + 1.5″ right hand selvedge x 44″ long.

What Can You Make With This? A pillow, Roman shade for a small sized window, piecing for quilts, piecing for fashion accessories, more. Large enough to cover a small-med dining room chair, lamp shade, a couple of message boards, or for the back (or other part) of a chair or settee when a different fabric is used on other parts of the piece, such as this designer is doing: https://w9yards.com/custom-chairs/

CONDITION: Superior!

Why High-End Vintage Fabric Samples? Because the large over size sample and superior manufacturing quality make it possible to access a very high-end fabric for a smaller scale project without the high cost of these classic vintage fabrics, which often begin at over $150 a yard, if they can still be found at all. Other reasons are to access a small amount of discontinued fabric to match or to repair an existing piece in your home.

SUSTAINABILITY: ALL my packaging except tape is 100% re-used. Your invoice is available digitally in your account. I source vintage items and resources either as they are, or to upcycle into new products, giving them a new life. This reduces demand on current resources, preserves history, and keeps valuable items out of the landfill, all of which asks just a little bit less out of our ever-giving Mother Earth. Etsy buys carbon offsets for all shipping, which is a win-win for the sustainability-minded shopper.

Everything from a smoke-free and pet-free studio.

When I visit #historichouses I am, of course, part When I visit #historichouses I am, of course, particularly interested in the fabrics and textiles. These shots are of some drapes, carpeting, and #wallpaper from the @grantcottage, where General (and President) Ulysses S. Grant lived out his final months and finished his widely-hailed #memoirs. Visit it in New York outside of Saratoga Springs. 

Isn’t that black #sunflower — or is it #chrysanthemum — pattern on the drapes amazing? And the one wallpaper looks like a #williammorris design. None of the items in the house are #reproductions — they’re all exactly as they were in 1885, perfectly preserved history.
