I’m so happy with the crewel fabric on my newly reupholstered ottoman, it has me thinking about other places to use the beautiful embroidery. I’m loving the texture it adds to a room…
How about on DIY shades?
via the Natural Curtain CoOr as a bedspread?
via DominoMaybe on an upholstered headboard?

i LOVE crewel!! i have crewel pillows on my 'list' to look for. i like to cut out the pattern and sew them to a new pillow :) i did that here: http://augustfields.blogspot.com/2009/05/thrify-treasures-1.html
I have lusted after that crewel coverlet since it first came out in that issue of Domino!! Would love to have it as a bedspread…
Love the table cloth! Oh, Schumacher, how I love thee!
i really like those prints.
I love that first picture! Just the perfect amount of interest :)
Hmmm… I vote 'vintage yellow' as a headboard. But that's easy for me to say! I'd never be able to say if was really a project for me… too many beautiful choices!
I love Crewel! I want their pillows badly.
The crewel shades are lovely and work so well in that space!

I was lucky enough last year to get a box in the mail from an old friend, 30 yards of vintage crewel. Took my breath away. I had them made into drape for my dinning room. There are spots of age, but that is okay. I love them.
Hello, I also love crewel. Just one question. I have a beautiful crewel bedspread and it does not touch the floor. I need a bedskirt. It has all differet colors in the crewel(flowers). What fabric type would be correct to have for the bedskirt? Thanks in advance. 14Angie
