In a twist on Gandhi's famous expression, this fabric lets you "Wear the change you'd like to see in the world." Printed with positive affirmations ranging from a single word ("patience", "gentleness", and "silence") to inspiring phrases ("love alone is power", "stumps teach", and "motive is everything"), it seems like there's something new each time you examine the fabric. (No, really -- I just read "voices teach but only the heart follows", which I hadn't seen before!) Printed on a 60"-wide white denim, with fiber reactive low-impact inks and dyes in accordance with the OTA Fiber Processing Standards, and with a fascinating multi-level design (polkadots, swirls, and the words, all working together), you'll be intrigued by this unique fabric. The repeat for the words is 12" vertically, 18" horizontally.

Designer Harmony Susalla says, "Stumps Speak originally was done for a textile art show I co-produced at the Gualala Art Center in 2003. The phrases come straight from the natural world around me." You can see Harmony's other fabrics here. A coordinating white denim is available, for added versatility. Wonderful for crafts and home furnishings, where the bold pattern really shines and you have a chance to read the printed wisdom. Don't stop there, though -- the fabric also works gloriously as a fascinating accent to your wardrobe as a purse, a jacket, or something else entirely.
