These gift-worthy cloth napkins, placemats and tea towels add a festive burst of joy to any table.
In our Featured Shop series, we shine a light on a standout shop from Etsy’s talented seller community, offering readers a behind-the-scenes look at their process and story. This month, it's all about handprinted home textiles from juliepeach.
Whether you’re setting the table for a daily meal or styling a festive spread to wow your guests, small touches can go a long way to foster a sparkling atmosphere. On a mission to create delightful, made-to-last home textiles, printmaker Julie Malone designs lively blockprinted cloth napkins and placemats, tablerunners, and tea towels, available in her shop juliepeach. Each of her artful, reusable wares brings cheer to your dining table and kitchen—and makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to gather. “I hope to make weeknight dinners feel special, and help hosts create an immersive experience,” she says. “And, above all, I hope to make all of these beautiful tablescapes feel easy.”
Using traditional techniques, Julie handprints cotton and linen fabrics with her signature mix-and-match patterns. To celebrate the season, her happy holiday prints—including pine trees, snowflakes, cardinals, and candy canes—pair perfectly with her evergreen abstract patterns, like the perennially popular florals, waves, and diamond motifs. “The nature of blockprinting means that no two pieces are exactly alike,” Julie explains. “This quality, combined with bright colors and fun graphics, comes together in a playful aesthetic that I hope brings joy to my buyers.”

Why juliepeach should be on your radar
A finalist in the Kitchen & Dining category of the 2025 Etsy Design Awards, juliepeach’s beloved textiles are handcrafted with care, using labor-intensive printing methods. Julie illustrates and hand-carves each block herself before printing every motif by hand. “Some pieces require upwards of four dozen prints to complete the pattern,” she notes. Julie then presses, heat sets, and packages each item, all from her Denver studio.
But it’s not just the craft that sets juliepeach apart. Her vibrantly patterned, table-ready textiles add festive flair to holiday gatherings and infuse routine rituals with an extra-special feel. Designed to reduce waste in the home and hold up meal after meal, Julie’s line is meant to be fully lived with. “I want nice things to not feel precious. Use them roughly, wash them in the machine, and enjoy them for a very long time!” she says. “I believe products should make you feel good—and leave the earth feeling good, too.”

The best juliepeach pieces for memorable gifting
If you’re looking for a gift that radiates happiness, juliepeach has you covered. Her bestselling floral dots tablerunner—available in several vibrant color palettes—and sunny cloth napkins, like the tangerines or palm sunset prints, are longtime fan favorites (and also happen to pair beautifully together). Julie’s customers reach for her linens for all sorts of gifting moments, from housewarmings and weddings to thoughtful hostess surprises. Have a devoted home cook, dinner party enthusiast, or budding mixologist in your life? Her themed table runners, patterned placemats, and cheery cocktail napkins make winning picks.
Juliepeach’s dish towels are go-to favorites as well. “I use my tea towels for absolutely everything,” Julie says. “They can be anything from a food prep accessory to an essential cleaning item in the kitchen.” They also double as delightful, reusable gift wrap: “My favorite host gift hack is a bottle of wine or olive oil wrapped in a tea towel, furoshiki style. I keep loads of them on hand, since you never know when you’re going to get a last-minute invite to a cozy holiday dinner!”

In her own words
“‘Playful’ is definitely the most apt description for juliepeach. My prints lean into ‘cute,’ and with the nature of blockprinting, a ton of movement is infused from the hand-printed technique. The prints feel like they dance across the surface! And, what’s more, that means that no two pieces will ever be exactly alike.”
