A lovely fabric

http://www.quatrefoildesign.com/

It is fairly unusual for me to notice a fabric; I have stated repeatedly that I am not a fabric person (and I am not really a pattern person either), but this one is so lovely and lyrical...

I first saw this beautiful fabric on the Tracery Interiors blog, in an unusual and beautifully draped door treatment. The Tracery Interiors team did the interiors for this stunning Tudor revival home; see the rest of the room here, and see the house decked out for the holidays here. There is a poetic justice to a firm named Tracery Interiors (who have one of the most beautiful blog logos and company names) using calligraphy inspired fabric for a home...

Here is a view of the room so you can appreciate the fabric in the entirety of the setting.

I next saw this fabric in Decor magazine. This fabric is a wonderful selection for curtains - the pattern is subtle, but makes a great impact. (Unfortunately, I can't find my copy of the magazine so I don't have the designer or photographer names).

Finally, I saw the fabric used in a charming home with interior design by Meridy King. I love the way Meridy used the fabric on both the curtains and the pillow. Is it any wonder that I admire this fabric, with its soft colors and calligraphic scrolls (take a look at my header and you will see that the swirls and flourishes of calligraphy are near and dear to my heart)?

Postscript: my sources tell me this is a fabric by Osborne & Little, to the trade. For inquiries on colors and to order this fabric (or any other 'to the trade' fabric or furniture), please email quatrefoildesign@gmail.com
