In Stitches

The first book from the imaginative and playful mind of Coral & Tusk, a textile designer, whose lovely animal and natural designs have become popular staples for interior designers and embroiderers everywhere. Founder Stephanie Housley's Coral & Tusk is beloved by interior designers, embroiderers, homeowners, and an expanding audience of Instagram followers due to her detailed stitches that bring a whimsical parade of animals and natural forms into any home. From playful foxes donning overalls to mushrooms that double as quarters for inquisitive chipmunks, Coral & Tusk creates endearing atmospheres that belong on table linens, living room couch cushions, and upholstered seating. This book presents her best and most lovable designs and explores her inspirational process: hand-drawn illustrations that come to life as embroidered textiles. Each animal becomes a character, and their habitat becomes a home that the reader can find comfort in. Included is the full natural world of Coral & Tusk, from the seas to woodlands with encounters from lots of pocket animals along the way, reminding us to look outside for inspiration within our home.
