ELIZABETH LAKE TEXTILES

Elizabeth Lake believes that if you are going to do needlework, it should be in beautiful appliqué form. The Texas-born and Sydney, Australia-based designer has beautifully shaken the world of entertaining and tablescaping. Her collection of table linens stitches pieces of fabric to form flowers, strawberries, and other happy moments from nature, as well as game motifs such as dice and golf. Here, her “Matisse” dinner napkins coordinate with hexagon-shape place mats, both in a pretty lilac palette. Lake’s linen is sourced from Italy, Belgium, and Ireland and hand-stitched by artisans on the Portuguese island of Madeira. elizabethlake.com
