It is our pleasure to offer current production of textiles of Arts & Crafts design. We work with collectors and enthusiasts wishing to decorate in the style as well as others who appreciate the designs and the art of handcrafts. ...
We
create textiles of the highest quality in techniques as used at the turn-of-the-century;
hand embroidery, applique, hand stencilling and printing. Embroideries
are available completed or as kits. Each piece is permanently marked and
dated. We also offer fabrics by the yard and encourage your projects.
In addition, I am happy to work with individuals on custom designs and
commissions for special textiles. |
Bedspreads are now in our Online Catalog, custom made in your choice of fabric, design and size.

An
Arts & Crafts style home is distinguished as much by its friendly comfortable
atmosphere as it is by its architecture, furniture and other objects.
Gustav Stickley likened the desired effect 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." |
