Have you ever found yourself reading Poe in the middle of the night and at the same time realized that the chair you’re sitting on could really use to be upholstered? Never? Not even once?! Well just in case you ever have to live through a similar experience J&O is going to help you prepare!
Therefore, we present you with a selection of designer and discount upholstery fabrics that are perfect companions for midnight readings of Poe. Two of these are Dread Garden (fhu00017) and Shadow Garden (reu00037). Why these two? First of all they are both dark and rather macabre looking prints. Secondly, gardens such as are depicted here would look particularly appropriate on the grounds of the House of Usher.
Styx Chenille Upholstery (che00042) is a upholstery fabric that is truly “lovely, dark and deep” to quote Robert Frost. This supple upholstery will coddle your furniture and you as well. With this fabric you can almost hear the swirling strings of Mussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain”.
Darkwood (ato00054) is a fascinating decorative fabric with a neo-gothic design that would not have looked out of place in a castle from the high Middle Ages. This drapery fabric is the perfect weight for decorative and dress use.
For something whimsical, try Frolic Midnight Decorative (ato00061). This versatile designer fabric can be used to make draperies, quilts, clothing and accessories.
So, the next time you feel the urge to read The Raven in the middle of the night, make sure you have the right designer and discount fabrics to make it a great experience.*
*If your inclination is towards quilting instead of upholstering or sewing, then please investigate J&O’s vast array of discount quilting fabrics! These fabrics and many more can be seen by browsing the fifty-plus categories of cotton novelty fabrics listed on our online fabric store.
