There's a Fire Burning in my Heart!

The Flame Stitch ... it has been around forever ... and it keeps burning!  Perhaps it was Missoni Fashion that pushed the envelope this summer when they introduced their line at Target ... perhaps it has always been a backbone of design ... whatever it is ... it is Back, it is Here and it is Now.  Fresher than Ever!

Then:

Flame stitch wall hangings in a bedroom at Chastleton House, Oxfordshire, early-1600s

Northern French flame stitch panel, c. 1700-1750

Now:

Martyn Lawrence Bullard for Schumacher

Adras Ikat Print 174820  Jewel

Raja Embroidery 65810  Caravan

In my opinion ... 2012 is the year of color.  With Tangerine Tango and Ikat and the Flame Stitch ... If you want to "spiff" up a little this year ... throw in a pillow or two in these Schumacher fabrics and you will be the talk of the neighborhood!!
