crewel kits

I am looking for crewel designs or kits for round, decorative pillows. Specifically, I am seeking those designs that show (for example) rabbits end-to-end in a circle forming the border of the pillow with a related design inside the circle of rabbits (mice etc..) Any known manufacturers or retailers would be most appreciated.

I work in an LNS which carries crewel kits - if you want to contact us - you can check the website at

(anything else we need to do not on RCTN).

But, the companies which do crewel kits for the most part are:

Custom House The Crewel Work Company (from the UK) Crewel & Unusual (the designer also has a shop in the midwest IIRC)

I'd try google and search, you'll find some things.

I couldn't find a website for Crewel and Unusual - any help?

Also - how about crewel that's NOT Jacobean or flowers?

Crewel and Unusual had some lovely, not traditional at all designs. The designer is Patricia Hook, IIRC. But, that said, we've been trying to order more from her for 6 months, and cannot get a response by any method - phone, voice-mail, e-mail, snail mail. But, she does own a shop. We sold out of the kits very quickly. IIRC, I even sent one to Cheryl????? What is nice with her stuff is that the twill included isn't overly heavy, and she kits with Impressions (silk/wool from Caron) - totally non-traditional, but very nice. Maybe she'll be at TNNA in June and we can finally get some more stock!

Custom House has some non-Jacobean, but, mostly flowers or fruit, kind of kitchen decorations.

I totally forgot about Tanya Berlin, who has gorgeous stuff - I think Dianne put up a link to her.

Also, we have in the shop some crewel kits from Tapis-Tree - they are very non-traditional, kind of funky designs.

's big show is in June, and while I'm not showing anything, the shopowner and I are attending and buying, and I'm sure we'll be looking for somecrewel (besides all the Crewel Work Co. stuff). We're one of the few shopsaround here that actually stocks a bunch of it, so..... Good luck, Linda.
