Does any one other than Art Stitch and Heartland House put out charts with
this flair to them? You might try a google search with "Frank Lloyd Wright needlework". Boo |

Cheryl Textile Heritage has some nice smaller pieces (kits) like needlecases, bookmarks, etc. Among the design motifs is at least one Arts & Crafts. The kits are aida, but it's high count and usually a nice background color, not just white or off-white. Their web site is: http://textileheritage.com, which is UK based. They do have US distributors, which is how I came to stock them in my little corner. HTH! Lucy Boyer Cross Stitch Unlimited Arlington, MA USA http://www.stitchstash.com |

Oddly, though textiles were very important to Mission and Praries style interiors, cross stitch was not a favored technique. Instead, they tended to favor applique and stenciling, usually with embroidered outlines. A couple of great sites reproducing these, both as kits and finished textiles a http://www.textilestudio.com/ Ooooo - like those! http://www.annwallace.com/ Also, Vogue patterns currently has in its catalog two packets of transfers for embroidery, reproductions from its archives circa 1910, each with five or six designs for Craftsman and Mission style pillows to be embroidered in stem and satin stitch. Hmmm - sounds like a trip to Joannes or the Ben Franklins is in order! And, keep a lookout for the early booklets in the DMC Library series. (They come up on eBay fairly frequently.) The designs in Motifs for Embroideries I, II, and III and Motifs for Cross Stitch I-IV are contemporary with the period you're interested in, though these are influenced more by the European aspects of the movement (English Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Werner Werkstadt) than the American styles. I've added that to favorite searches. Thanks! Cheryl |

Or, you can buy them online directly from Vogue at 50% off: http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin...terns/shop.cgi The Craftsman style embroidered pillows are pattern numbers 7462 and 7292. There's also a pattern for Stickley style pillows done in felt applique, 7599. Annie |

.... I have a *great* book with quilt patterns taken from several FLW windows! ..... Cheryl Isaak asked: Could you find the title easily? Sounds like a source of inspiration to me! I got the info from RCTQ and ordered the book online -- here is the link to their site: http://www.animas.com . The book I have is titled Quilts in the Tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright by Jackie Robinson (the site is her's). The snail mail is P.O.Box 693; Durango, CO 81302; 970.247.4549. The book has eighteen different quilt patterns featuring windows from the following houses: Coonley, Heath, Martin, May, Dana, Hollyhock,Robie, Ennis, Little, Thomas, Gilmore, Willits and the Wright Studio. I bought it about 2 years ago and the total cost at that time (this includes $4 postage) was $23.00 -- a pretty good price considering all the patterns included! Let me know what you think of it OK? You should be able to do your own needlework charts using the pictures in the book! CiaoMeow ^;;^ .. PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their WHISKERS!! Nothing is complete without a few cat hairs! |
