Lee Jofa's Jesi Crewel in Espresso

I’ll admit it – I LOVE embroidered fabrics.  It doesn’t matter to me if the embroidery is done on silk, velvet, cotton or jute – I love them all!  

My new private label line – Fleur de Lys Home Finery features crewel fabrics and will have coordinating solids, and even some wallpapers next season.

I’ve also been seeing embroideries in magazines lately.  Here are some pictures that show a more contemporary side of embroidery used by some very savvy designers.  Aren’t they fabulous?

Both the pillow shams and the duvet use crewel fabric.
