Beauty quickens. It adrenalizes. It makes the heart beat faster. It makes life more vivid, animated, living, worth living. -Elaine Scarry

Luxe Los Angeles-Pillows @ Greystone


A pair of silk pillows that I designed and made were borrowed by Oliver M. Furth's for his beautifully designed room at the Greystone Show House this past December. In this expressive bedroom, lives quite the forward thinking girl; the pair of Victorian Silk Pillows--details below--I pieced together from a beaded and ruffled Victorian dress. You may be able to make them out in situ above on the bed. The images are from Los Angeles Luxe Interiors +Design. Winter 2012. An edited group of my pillows can be seen in person at Hallworth Design here in Los Angeles--here is a link to some of their other pieces on 1stdibs.

PONTIUS Pillow in House Beautiful



The blue and white striped pillow is one that I pieced together out of an indigo African textile and some home spun Laotian fabric. It's on page 96 of the Dec-Jan 2012 issue of House Beautiful. The interior is by Commune purchased from Pat McGann Gallery.

Free Hand Machine Stitchery






These embroidery pieces were taken from a frilly frilly piece of fabric that I cut & appliqued to a linen ground--machine stitched with threads of green pink and blue. 16x16 feather and down insert.

God Bless America, Memorial PIllow






A  memorial banner; I don't know anything about it, a random find--I made into a 16 x 16 pillow insert into linen with a linen back.

Roman Shade

Wall facing North side window with succulent box --luckily the other side has palm tree views.

Partial view of the roman shade--I'm not sure why I didn't take a full view shot.


One of the 3 Roman Shades that I've done for my bedroom. They are unlined white black out fabric that have been pieced randomly to create ripples and a light design of stitch holes--I'm debating my love for them, but in the morning it's pleasant to look at the stitching. I'll like them more with curtains installed and then they won't be so bleak.
