PillowsSee Below for Applique and Signature Fabric Pillows  "Nobody
who goes to India can fail to be awed at the incredible craftmanship
there. While I do all my own original designs, I am always closely involved
with my Indian suppliers, who are invaluable in adding those little extra
touches–in
the form of stitching or embellishment–that makes our pillows so
special–and are often missing in products done
for big chain stores and catalogues.
Our APPLIQUE pillows are actually
a combination of appliqué and
embroidery. Appliqué is a form of patchwork, but instead of little pieces
making up a whole, the pieces are applied to an 18" square of plain cotton, stitched by hand using a
sewing machine. Embroidery in assorted colors is then added, both to outline the shapes and to enhance
the pattern.
The
finished square is sewn to a backing which has the same ground color,
and button holes or a pocket-closure are made. Once it is shipped to
us, we stuff it with a fiberfill, non-allergenic insert. COLOR PALETTE
 Everything I design is built around my core color palette. I have developed
this over the years, and while it fluctuates with the time and seasons—some
years I’m into pinks, some into greens, sometimes I like more intensity
and other times I go for softer hues—it remains true to its center.
My yellows
are warm, closer to apricot and marigold. My blues shade towards
periwinkle. My greens are either lime or teal but NEVER Kelly Green.
Mustard, navy, olive and beige are not in my repertoire—mud colors for muddy
interiors—they’re
easy to find elsewhere. >>>more
