"Joy: a word that reverberated as I wrote this month's cover story, "Work of the Body." In almost every interview I did with the 13 decorators and designers whose work is featured in these pages, that word, in its forms – joy, joyousness, joyful – recurred. Back in August, we received the unique opportunity to do a Stitches photo shoot in an art-filled, modern Philadelphia penthouse – the location was spectacular (as you'll see), so I wanted to showcase equally spectacular embroidered work.
