55 Eclectic Embroidery Features

From Cross-Stitched Rap Lyrics to Pop Portrait Pillows

— October 5, 2011 — Art & Design
Embroidered wall hangings and cross-stitched pillows might be your grandparent's favorite home decor choice, but that doesn't mean you can't indulge in a little handwoven ornamentation, as these eclectic embroidery features prove. Adding a personal touch to a piece of clothing by stitching in your own pattern or design is a great way to get noticed and update your older threads.

For anyone who is looking to redecorate or who just can't seem to find the right housewarming gift for your wacky friend, sassy stitched pop art is the perfect alternative to the standard movie or band poster. Etsy retailers like Steotch and Stephanie Tillman offer hilarious and quirky cross-stitched wall hangings to meet all your daring decorating needs.

If you're itching for more stitching finds, check out these eclectic embroidery features. They're just "sew" fabulous, I can't look away!
