Well there are many examples, not really great quality, here on this website:
http://www.calacademy.org/research/anth ... lintro.htm
Just search for "Coptic" and "Textiles"
There are also a few examples here:
http://www.gryph.com/byzantine/
but most of my examples are from books. Most are weft-faced tapestry woven, but a few are embroidered.
dionysiac themes are common, as are geometric patterns.
Also, go search metmuseum.org, they have a nice collection of coptic textiles as well.
