Tiles have been a delightful additions to architecture throughout history. We have chosen these classical designs as the basis of this needlepoint collection.

The Frets in the Heraldic Borders are a classical design dating back to the Greeks - it does not form a continuous meander - creating a more stationary effect. The small Heraldic motifs represent the small tiles inserted into larger - plain floor tiles - typical in Spanish and Mexican floor and wall decoration.

The Heraldic Borders may be used separately as bell pulls or to pull back drapes. These designs have a multitude of purposes. Panels of the same size may be stitched individually and then joined together to make needlepoint rugs of varying sizes and design combinations - fire screens - table covers - bench covers or bed boards.

Perfect accents for a Rustic Country Decor and Spanish-Style Homes.
