The Stitch Collection is designed by Jeremy Noonan in collaboration with The Common Thread for the Cure, Valdese Weavers, and Crypton. The collaboration celebrates the restorative qualities and resiliency of the human spirit. The collection was inspired by textile traditions of repairing and renewal. Examples of stitching, patching, and layering are mending techniques that can be found throughout the history of textiles. The patterns are characterized by the use of linear elements (connections), texture (touch), and textile heritage (history). The Stitch Collection features C-Zero Plus Moisture Barrier, Crypton’s non-fluorinated performance option. Proceeds from the collection will be donated to The Common Thread For The Cure Foundation. The Stitch Collection fabrics are perfect for healthcare, hospitality, corporate and educational interiors.

Embellish

Embellish refers to the elaborate decorations and stitches used to embellish quilts. Buttons, lace, and ribbon were frequently used. Animals and flowers seem to be the favorite embroidery themes. Some quilters believed that embroidering a spider on its web would bring good luck to the quilter.

Friendship Quilt

Friendship Quilt refers to a quilt made by a group of friends, with each participant making and signing one or more of the patchwork blocks. Our Friendship privacy curtain fabric consists of many geometric shapes or blocks in a dramatic large-scale multi-colored rendering.

Kantha

Kantha is an embroidery technique used by Bengali women for centuries to repurpose remnants from saris into quilts by layering them together using running stitch. The artisans of Kantha either told a story or imparted wishes for loved ones through their quilts. These women would sometimes “autograph” their pieces to indicate their relationship with a recipient of the kantha. our Kantha interpretation uses a thick boucle juxtaposed with finer yarns to mimic the original quilts.

Saori

Saori is an improvisational hand-weaving technique rooted in the philosophy that beauty can be found in irregular patterning created through individual expression. According to Misao Jo, the founder of Saori, the “SA” of SAORI has the same meaning as the first syllable of the work “SAI” which is found in Zen vocabulary. It means everything has its own individual dignity. “ORI” means weaving. Our Saori leaf pattern emulates this technique through the use of a unique stria effect that creates random-looking texture in the leaves.
