I hope you are well and happy. I'm back in beautiful northern Minnesota for the next few months, and have a great schedule of exceptional shows lined up. Please go to the Shows page for details. I hope to see you in person at one of these fine events. For those of you who have made orders in the past, I do keep your size and style information, making it easy to make new orders. And I also have Gift Certificates available in several denominations here on the website and in person. Thanks for all your support, and Happy Summer! For over 49 years I have been designing and making original garments. I make jackets, tops, pants and skirts in several colors of 100% silk noil. The basic shapes are simple and elegant and versatile. They are available unadorned or with various styles of Freehand Machine stitching, as shown in the Catalog. They are also available hand-embroidered (by my hands) in several original styles. Examples of these are shown on the Hand Embroidery page. Some quilted styles are also offered on the Quilted Styles page. You can also find news and new photos on Bird of Paradise Designs on Facebook. © Copyright 2008-2021 Bird of Paradise.
