The reign of King James I of England in the early 1600s was a time of great creativity in more ways than one. The king ordered the translation of the Bible which bears his name, Shakespeare produced most of his work, and fashions and decor featured elaborate embroidered ornamentation full of fanciful flowers, plants, and creatures of the earth.

This Jacobean embroidery, as it's called, has been a time-honored source of inspiration for embroiderers ever since. We're especially proud of this week's new designs -- filled with wonderful colors and textures and suitable for a rainbow of up-to-date embroidered creations!

Stitch a splash of color with nine jubilant Jacobean blooms with matching borders, corners, and floral sprays. These versatile designs will be stunning on quilts, home decor, and fashions from jackets to jeans! On the lighter side, another collection of nine light-stitching Jacobean flowers will bring exquisite colors to towels, quilts, shirts, and more.

Let timeless Jacobean style make a real statement with a pair of intricate garden designs suitable for pillows, wall hangings, and bags. Plus, enjoy a collection of nine light-stitching birds, butterfllies, dragonflies, and more. Combine them with the complementary light-stitching flowers, or let them dazzle on their own! Scroll down the page to pick a bouquet of these colorful flowers, and enjoy!
