THE OPEN ROAD – Backroads Umber Fabric by Bonnie Christine for Art Gallery Fabrics
Backroads Umber is a beautifully versatile stripe from The Open Road collection by Bonnie Christine for Art Gallery Fabrics. Inspired by winding country roads and the simple joy of travelling slowly through nature, this warm umber stripe brings timeless style to quilts, patchwork, bags, zipper pouches, and home décor projects.
One of the reasons I chose this fabric for Sublime Stitchery is because it makes an exceptional quilt binding. The subtle stripe adds a polished, professional finish to your quilt, framing your patchwork without competing with it. It’s also a wonderful choice for bag bindings, facings, and other projects where a classic stripe can really shine.

Backroads Umber Fabric (by Bonnie Christine)
Sublime Stitchery always recommends handwashing with mild, bleach-free detergent, like Soak and hang-dry all cotton fabrics for best results. If machine washing is your preferred method, we suggest using a mild, bleach-free detergent (like Soak) in cold water with similar colours on a gentle cycle. Dry on a low-heat tumble setting to minimise shrinkage.
