A Story in Indigo 1841
New Release by Maggie Bonanomi
Approx. 58″ x 58″
A striking new bed cover inspired by early American textiles, A Story in Indigo captures the quiet beauty of indigo and cream in a timeless composition. Set on hand-dyed linen in a rich Dark Indigo, this piece features a thoughtful blend of wool, linen, and cotton fabrics, creating depth and texture throughout.

Delicate vines, stars, and symbolic motifs are artfully arranged across the field, anchored by a central urn and framed with classic appliqué elements. The palette is both bold and soothing—true primitive blues paired with soft, aged neutrals—making it a statement piece that feels rooted in history.

Whether displayed as a bed cover or a wall piece, it brings warmth, story, and craftsmanship into any space.

The kit includes a two-yard piece of Dark Indigo linen for the background. If you prefer a wool background, we have that option available in Colonial Blue. Also included are five neutral wools used in the original design, along with a touch of blue, plus three different neutral linens—totaling 2 1/8 yards of material.

We chose not to include cotton fabrics, giving you the opportunity to personalize your piece. It’s a perfect way to use treasured scraps from your stash or incorporate those special antique fabrics you’ve been saving for just the right project.

Pattern is not included, but, available separately for £35 https://cowslipworkshops.co.uk/product/a-story-in-indigo-pattern-by-maggie-bonanomi/

(if you would like the cottons, please let us know, we can select some for you).
