Show & Tell: LionheARTisans

We are so excited to share with you some of the amazing products that have been made by the talented students of an Atlanta area school - using bits and scraps of fabrics that are left over from the extensive lineup of products we manufacture here at Lacefield Designs.  When company founder Beth Lacefield donated bags of fabric remnants to be used for craft projects at The Lionheart School, she had no idea they would be reimagined into such stunning pillows and art!

The Lionheart School is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, founded in 2000 by some of the Southeast's leading Early Childhood Education Professionals and a group of families unable to find a school or program that fit the needs of their children.  The goal was to provide a unique learning environment for children with autism and other challenges of relating and communicating.

LionheARTisans is a cottage industry that uses student artwork to create books, framed pieces, pillows and other decorative accessories that are marketed and sold by the students of The Lionheart School.  According to the US Department of Education, students with disabilities are more likely to be competitively employed if they receive adequate vocational training.  Lionheart strives to provide educational and independent life skills for a successful transition to the workplace and to a fullfilling, productive life.

It's Showtime!

 

 The Lacefield Designs booth at the ITMA - Showtime Market in High Point

If you have never heard of ITMA Showtime, it is the largest home textile trade show in the United States.  Twice a year, furniture, bedding and soft good manufacturers, fabric retailers, designers and trend spotters all attend this show to see the latest home textile, leather and trimming introductions.  This was our first time showing the Lacefield Designs collection at Showtime and we had a fantastic response to the line!  For more information click here:   http://www.showtime-market.com/

 Our newest textile collection features vibrant colors and patterns of varying scale that work brilliantly with our best sellers from previous seasons.  Check out our inspiration boards below.

Applique Suzani Pillow from Concept to Creation

Handmade applique pillows have become one of the hallmarks of the Lacefield Designs 'look'.  Here is an inside peek at how our unique designs flow from concept to creation.  Highly skilled artisans, right here in the Atlanta area, hand cut and sew each of one of our beautiful pillows.

There are more than 300 styles in the Lacefield Designs pillow line ... which one is your favorite?

Scene Stealer

Queen Victoria

Season 2 of the ABC hit Revenge is in full swing... and our popular Document textile is once again quite the scene stealer!  The Grayson family matriarch, Victoria, is often perched in a gorgeous wingback chair upholstered in Lacefield Designs Document Fossil textile.  Queen Victoria's evil persona has been defined by her pursed lips, icy stare and dramatic French script throne.  This show stopper of a chair has sparked a flurry of blog posts and tweets by Revenge fans curious to know where they can get a similar one for their home.

 

To recreate this look with a wingback chair you already own,  Document Fossil cut yardage is available directly from Lacefield Designs. Several furniture companies sell wing back chairs very similar to the ones above - try Hooker Furniture or the Thurston wing chair by Ballard Designs.
