Description: Simple and beautiful, with clean, pretty patterning that catches the eye: the contrast of blue and white appeals to almost everyone. Most often used on pottery--especially the lovely Chinese willow design--this color pairing also translates wonderfully to cross-stitch. Inspired by many sources, from the Portuguese tiles known as azulejos to Dutch delft, Islamic silks, and French fabrics, these embroideries will enrich the look of any home. Dress up a living room with two elegant stitched birds on a creamy linen cushion and a toile de Jouy lampshade with a playful seesaw pattern. Set a special table with Wedgewood napkins and Ming coasters. Brighten bedrooms with flowered pillowcases and bathrooms with an ornate, intricate Safavid tissue-box cover. Plus: gifts and other accessories!
