Question: Is Jacobean a person who digitizes those designs or a style of embroidery designs? They are sure very beautiful.

Jacobean is a style. Jacobean artwork was popularized during the reign of King James. I agree they are beautiful.

Jacobean is a style that was mostly used in tapestry and bed cloths. I think it's one of my favorites.

Jacobean relating or characteristic of JamesI of Eng. or his age. You will find more if U look up English History & the Jacobean age. Let's hear it from the English or Brits

i just read your profile. You go girl!! If I were your age again, I would have loved to design for someone like Liz Claibourne and I'm not a red head. I think her colors are for red heads. I love her clothes!! I like Jacobean designs also.

ssarner, I just copied this from Wikipedia - ***Jacobean embroidery refers to embroidery styles that flourished beginning in the reign of King James I of England in first quarter of the seventeenth century. The term is usually used today to describe a form of crewel embroidery used for furnishing characterized by fanciful plant and animal shapes worked in a variety of stitches with two-ply wool yarn on linen. Popular motifs in Jacobean embroidery, especially curtains for bed hangings, are the Tree of Life and stylized forests, usually rendered as exotic plants arising from a landscape or terra firma with birds, stags, squirrels, and other familiar animals. Early Jacobean embroidery often featured scrolling floral patterns worked in colored silks on linen, a fashion that arose in the later Elizabethan era. Embroidered jackets were fashionable for both men and women in the period 1600-1620.*** Hugs and a flower for you sweetie, and I agree jacobean designs are beautiful.
