Cypress & Swallows — Bird Fabric | Botanical Upholstery Fabric

Inspired by the promise of renewal in Isaiah 55:12–13, this bird fabric signifies joy, restoration, and the beauty of creation transformed.

Rolling mountains rise in the distance beneath a sky alive with swallows in flight, while graceful partridges wander among cypress and myrtle trees — a botanical fabric brought to life, with birds woven through every branch. Encircling the landscape are winding thorns, a reminder of the wilderness from which new life emerges. Yet at the heart of the design stands the hope proclaimed by the prophet: "Cypress will grow instead of thorns, myrtle instead of nettles."

Hand-painted details and flowing natural forms create a sense of peace and movement, capturing a world where the hills burst into song and the trees clap their hands in praise. As both a botanical fabric and a bird fabric, rich in heritage symbolism, this pattern reflects God's promise to bring beauty where there was barrenness, abundance where there was lack, and joy where there was sorrow.

Printed on your choice of base cloth — from lightweight Soho Cotton Linen for curtains and cushions, to heavyweight Velvet Polyester for statement upholstery — this design carries its detail beautifully across every weight in the range.

"Yes, you will go out with joy
and be led away in safety.
Mountains and hills will break into joyful cries before you
and all the trees of the countryside clap their hands.
Cypress will grow instead of thorns,
myrtle instead of nettles.
And this will be fame for Yahweh,
an eternal monument never to be effaced."
— Isaiah 55:12–13
