Elizabeth by Tula Pink


Elizabeth by Tula Pink
For FreeSpirit Fabrics
Tart Elizabeth

Tula Pink's newest fabric collection is a fantasy adaptation about a dynamic queen based on the life of Elizabeth I of England. Elizabeth's 16th Century England collides with the present in an explosion of color and pattern to create a thoroughly updated narrative. Tula used the original propaganda and symbology of Elizabeth's reign to weave together snippets of a story so enduring that we are still fascinated with her over 500 years later. From pelicans to pearls, there is a treasure trove of things to find and decode amongst the eccentrically decadent foliage, flowers, swirls and loops. It's both quirky and elegant in a way that only Tula Pink can achieve! 






There are 25 prints making up 3 collections
Tart Elizabeth
Plum Elizabeth
Sky Elizabeth


I have pre-ordered Tart Elizabeth set x8 fabrics
