NEW THIS WEEK - June 5th 2013 |
Bring the elegance
and grace of the Jacobean art
tradition to your embroidery
projects! New
designs are filled with fanciful
flowers, fruitful plants, and
creatures of the earth.
This
week's designs are alive with
wonderful colors and textures, just
right for summer
stitching. Intricate squares are
stunning centerpieces to quilts and home decor.
Jacobean fruit trees are simpler
with contemporary appeal. They're
tasty additions to kitchen and

way to bind fabric and batting
together. Use for any quilted item,
from full quilts to placemats to
quilted tote bags! |

One way to use these new designs is to
make a beautiful cover for any and every pillow.

Jacobean Summer Squares
|
Fine arts flourished under James
I during the Jacobean era, and
became increasingly rich in color,
detail, and design. Following this
tradition, Jacobean floral blooms in
soft colors are rich in detail, and ready to blossom on
your embroidery projects. Stitch
onto totes, towels, wall hangings,
and pillow shams to add graceful
beauty to your home decor.

Jacobean Feather Quilting Squares
|
These Jacobean-style
feather quilting designs are made to
stitch beautifully through a quilt
top, batting, and backing to create
that beautiful, characteristic puffy
look. Each of these single run
designs is made of one continuous
line of stitching, so there are no
jump stitches.
Use them on quilts,
vests, and bags to create a quilted
look -- or stitch them on a single
stabilized layer of fabric (as with
normal embroidery designs) to
decorate wall hangings, towels,
clothing, and more.
Click here for instructions on
quilting with embroidery designs.
Each of the designs has a
coordinating square and rectangle,
for lots of versatility in meeting
different project needs.

Special Requests of the Week
|
Embroidery Library is
always inspired by your design
suggestions, and we thank you for
sending us your terrific ideas,
which we regularly incorporate into
the weekly design themes. This space
is dedicated to the "Request of the
Week."
In the past, we experimented
with the illuminated lettering style
to create the words
Dream,
Faith,
Hope, and
Love. Cherie and Christine were
charmed by this classic style, and
requested words that were meaningful
to them. Fancywork
around the bold first letter, and filigree curves around each word,
add grace and elegance to pillow shams, Bible
covers, wall hangings, and more! |
