"Free man, you will always cherish the sea!
The sea is your mirror; you contemplate your soul
In the infinite unrolling of its billows;
....
O eternal fighters, implacable brothers!"
- Charles Baudelaire Man and the Sea (translated by William Aggeler)
The words from this poem express the mysterious allure that
the sea holds for man. The often antagonistic relationship that has long existed between man and the sea
has not reduced the popularity of sailing.
This fascination with the sea in general- and sailing in
particular- is also evident in fabric. We carry an amazing array of sailing
themed decorator fabrics that can compliment virtually any project you have in
mind. Anchors Away Decorative is just such a fabric.
The design of Anchors Away is composed of tossed anchors and
knots in a light shade of blue over a darker blue background. The base fabric is
100% cotton duck cloth.
Anchors Away is a truly splendid designer fabric for those
who are passionate about sailing and the sea. Whether as a gift for a friend or
a loved one, or simply a treat for yourself, this decorator fabric is a
reminder that man "will always cherish the sea".
