Gingko Leaf Square - Request of the Week

Sarah D., from Pennsylvania, when purchasing a new home, ideally wanted a Craftsman-style
house. When that wasn't in the cards, she purchased a Lynnhaven, a Sears kit house from 1935,
that did have some Craftsman elements to it. Wanting to additionally incorporate more Arts &
Crafts nature themes throughout the house, Sarah found inspiration in a stanza from Robert Louis Stevenson's poem, 'Songs for Travel':

I will make you brooches and toys for your delight / Of bird-song at morning and star-shine at night.
I will make a palace fit for you and me / Of green days in forests and blue days at sea.

Taking the last line to heart, she incorporated blues, greens and natural components to all of
the rooms. The one missing piece was a simple gingko leaf. Sarah says, "One of my husband's nieces got her grandmother a small, tone-on-tone decorative pillow that had a single, very simple, machine-embroidered gingko leaf on it and I always thought it was a very nice accent. But, just
any ginkgo leaf won't do, because designs from the Arts & Crafts era tended to be stylized, almost stencil-like, and somewhat squared off. Everything I've found that's "north woodsy" is just too natural and realistic looking. I would like to use the ginkgoes to make a tone-on-tone linen table runner, possibly dining room curtains and chair covers, and a cushion for the radiator. "

Thanks for the wonderful suggestion, Sarah! It's a fantastic story that you shared,
and we hope this design will help with the finishing touches of your home decor!
