"The Earth laughs in flowers." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Brave old-flowers! Wall-flowers, Gilly flowers, Stocks! For even
as the field-flowers, from which a trifle, a ray of beauty, a drop of
perfume, divides them, they have charming names, the softest in the
language; and each of them, like tiny, art-less ex-votos, or like medals
bestowed by the gratitude of men, proudly bears three or four."
- Maurice Maeterlinck
Of the many subjects that have captivated poets and writers, flowers have occupied one of the most prominent places. The variety of colors, textures and fragrances have inspired the poets and writers of many different cultures to sing the praises of flowers or to use them as metaphors.
Flowers have also served to inspire textile artists. The variety of fabric prints incorporating flowers is immense and always increasing. At J&O Fabrics we carry an extensive selection of flower prints, particularly in novelty weight cotton. Among these quilting fabrics is Rose Diamonds Calico.
Roses have inspired more artists than any other flower. Many of the most oft quoted lines in literature involve references to the rose:
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet". - William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet act II, sc. ii.
"In the driest whitest stretch of pain's infinite desert, I lost my sanity and found this rose". - Rumi
"O, my love's like a red, red rose/That's newly sprung in June". - Robert Burns
The design of Rose Diamonds Calico fabric lovingly depicts the beauty of these flowers. The design is composed of individual roses and bouquets of roses over a tea dye background with a diamond shaped floral trellis design.
Rose Diamonds Calico will make an excellent companion to your projects. It can be used for quilts, bed sheets, garments, fashion accessories, pet clothing, draperies and much more.
