From Paris with Love
It’s often said that the devil is in the details. And looking at the embroidery of Patricia J. Kha, an experienced artist who follows a very tight and precise technical descriptions with accuracy and skillfulness, I tend to agree. Last month, I was given a private viewing of her collection, since I was linen shopping for a client’s guest bedroom. After seeing a single pillow case, I was struck by the way the design resembled a true work of art. The needle point was so fine, so detailed, that the motif bore a strong resemblance to a hand block fabric, but au contraire, it was hand made with love.
Patricia Kha’s work showed the necessary diligence required to execute the delicate work that is essential in haute couture. I was so pleased to have been introduced to her work, and she quickly became my go to source for rare and fine linen.

An Architectural Alphabet is an exhibition and book project from Patricia Kha which comprises 26 small-format watercolors incorporating the letters of the alphabet in architectural or garden-themed vignettes. Taking their inspiration from Ancien Régime France and the Grand Tour, the watercolors evoke the playfulness and exoticism that inspired the architects and garden designers of the period.”
