An Arts & Crafts style home is distinguished as much by its friendly, comfortable atmosphere as it is by its architecture, furniture and other objects..

We create textiles for your home in turn-of-the-century techniques -- applique, hand embroidery, and hand stencilling. Embroideries are available completed or as kits.

We work with collectors and enthusiasts wishing to decorate in the style as well as those who simply appreciate the designs and the art of handcraft. .

We also offer fabrics by the yard and encourage you to create your own Arts & Crafts textiles. We also are happy to do custom designs and commissions for special textiles.

We recently added many sizes of completed Ginkgo Table Scarves, new colors of Prairie Vine Pillows and our new variation of the Gustav Stickley Grape Motif for pillows and table linens.

Crossing table scarves and ginkgo designs were classic features of Gustav Stickley's Craftsman Workshops.

 

Gustav Stickley likened the desired effect of a well designed room to the experience of nature;
"...plan and arrange the room that the sense of space and freedom is always felt, and so to preserve the relation between the natural background of the walls and floor and the more prominent furnishings in the room that each part is given its own value and falls into its own place as naturally and inevitably as the trees, hills, valleys and brooks combine in the harmonious relationship that makes a beautiful landscape."
