Thread has a direction and a sheen, and that's the whole medium. These nine render a bee, a monogram and a hoop of lavender, each in satin stitch, crewel wool and goldwork thread. Ask for a different subject — an animal, a flower, an initial — and the same three threads carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each render is composed at a clean square-friendly crop, suited to a print, a poster or a hoop reference.
Can I get a different subject, like an animal or a flower?
Yes — the direction field takes any subject, and the same three threads render it.
What's the difference between the three threads?
Satin stitch lies flat and glossy, crewel wool is textured and matte, and goldwork uses metallic thread laid and couched for a raised shine.
Is this a real stitched piece or a rendered image?
It's a rendered image styled to look like embroidered thread — there's no physical stitching made or photographed.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
