William
Morris 1834-1896
The inspiration came from the thrushes he saw stealing fruit in his Kelmscott Manor house in Oxfordshire. It became one of his most popular designs and was printed on cotton fabric for use in curtains.
I have two cushions in different colourways
a tablecloth.
and an address book
There can never be too many Strawberry Thieves in my house.
I am also working on a Strawberry Thief cross-stitch, which is driving me cross-eyed!
More education from Jabblog Central. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely pattern!
ReplyDeleteI like the design and prefer the darker colours of the cushion and tablecloth. it isn't something that would fit with my mish-mash "decor" of secondhand bits and pieces.
ReplyDeletewonderful designs Also the background of your blog is fabulous. Splashes of watercolor is my favorite way to paint.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is interesting and I prefer the colouring in the first cushion.
ReplyDeleteI might like the address book best, but it’s all good.
ReplyDeleteI like many of the William Morris designs. In the mid 70s you could get Sanderson fabric and wall paper that used Morris designs. Every room had something of Morris in it .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful designs and colours
ReplyDeleteStrawberry Thief is one of my favorite of all the William Morris designs too Janice. My friend has some of this design in wallpaper .
