Palm Beach Orange and Blue for Season
I have been selling lots of
orange and blue pillows here at
on
Then I started looking around
and notice it being used
more than I thought...
It seems to be an unexpected
trend in the pillow world
at the moment.
As I started to be aware of it
I noticed more around me
than I thought.
Really a nice combination.
Enjoy your weekend!

A Touch of Blue...
Sometimes all it takes is a soft
touch of color to bring
out the best in a room.
For one of my favorite clients we needed
to add subtle shades to bring
a bit of punch to a beautiful new home
that had a beige
canvas.
We added some pillows for the living room
and a coordinated bench pad
for the foyer leading in.
I found some great trims
in my studio and they
added just the details we
were looking for.
This is a work in progress
so I will be posting
more to follow.

Don't Be Crewel
Since the beginning there
has been thread work...
Dress circa 1700
Green crewel early 1700's
Historical Crewel in Green.
Wonderful example of
different techniques.
I never get tired of
the look.
Many different examples of
stitches.

Try to keep away
from the obvious
machine made if you are serious.
Very early needlework
Victoria and Albert Museum, UK
I love this chair.
Heavier yarn look.
Such unusual colors.
Empress of The Eye Collection
This terrific room is an ode
to textiles.
I have always loved
the white on white.
The little knots are called the
"Candlewick"
stitch.

Great family portrait...
and I love the crewel sofa
as a background.
