I have a new Moda line called Morris Muse, the latest in our "Best of Morris"
series of reproduction Arts & Craft prints. Bolts should be in your
shop this week.
Roseanne Smith's log cabin cut from strips of the Russet red colorway for centers.
See the prints here:
Morris Muse celebrates the unsung women of craftsman design, artists in their own right, designing, stitching and overseeing masterpieces of Morris needlework. Despite late-century conventions that kept them behind the screens they stitched, women in Arts and Crafts circles were true design partners. Prints in the Morris Muse collection continue the Morris theme of nature-inspired patterns with rich reds and color complements echoing interior fashion and the women’s personal style.
Morris's prime Muse was his wife Jane Burden Morris,
Auburn-haired Jane looking wistful, a rather typical look
Painter Dante Gabriel Rosetti was obsessed with her face and form---
you'd probably look wistful too if you had to choose between Rosetti & Morris.
She really never did.

Over the spring we'll discuss other Morris Muses, show some period embroidery and new quilt patterns perfect for this fabric line.
We've cut a kit from Morris Muse for Modernly Morgan's "Same Sky,"
should be in shops momentarily.
Pattern for a simple quilt making the most of the reds & greens in
Morris Muse.
