To watch a galloping horse is to see poetry in motion; every undulating sinew liberates a mercurial power that has captivated both great generals and casual animal lovers. It is no wonder that horses figure so large in history. The military campaigns of Belisarius, the infamous ride of Lady Godiva and quite a few beer commercials wouldn’t have been possible without the use of horses. Furthermore, the names of many horses have become legendary in the sporting world as a result of their prowess on the racetrack: Secretariat, Man O’ War, and Seabiscuit being just a few.
The world of textiles has not been blind to the allure of horses, as witnessed by their appearance on so many different fabrics. To find these fabrics all you have to do is visit jandofabrics.com. When you browse our online fabric store you will discover the finest selection of horse and horse-related fabrics.
For your most basic fabric needs you can look at our cotton novelty prints. Beautiful Horses (ani00011), Horse Country (ani000221), Horse Heads Fabric (ani00093), Spectral Stallions (cow00042) and Horses in Frames Fabric (ani00082) extol the beauty of horses in fabric that is easy to work with. Shirts, bed sheets, lampshades, purses, quilts and pillows are some of the many items that can be made using these discount fabrics.
For the cold winter months you might enjoy one of our cotton flannels with horses. Giddie Up Horse Flannel Tan and Giddie Up Horse Flannel Blue (fla000201 & fla000251, respectively) are fun fabrics that will keep you warm. From these fabrics can be made cozy blankets, quilts and bed sheets.
The following discount novelty fabrics show horse related sports and objects. Equestrian Jump Fabric Black (ani000102), Horse Saddles Fabric (ani00091) and Horseshoes Fabric (cow00085) will let you show off your equine love.
Horses are also an important part of how we imagine the Wild West. After all, the thought of the Lone Ranger chasing bad guys while on a bike isn’t quite as exciting as him charging along mounted on Silver. Neither Roy Rogers nor Gene Autry would have been quite as dashing without their faithful steeds.
So the next time you’re in the mood for a classic Western, make sure you kick back with one of the following designer tapestries: Cowpoke Tapestry (tap00078), Desert Stallions Tapestry (tap00055<
/a>) or Horses of Summer Tapestry (tap00080). Any of these fabulous decorator tapestry fabrics would be perfect for wall-hangings or upholstery.
