The Next Morris Collection-Sneak Peek

Anemone

from Morris & Company

We're always working ahead in the fabric business. Here's what's happening in July that customers will see in November. The sales reps have the sample cards of the next William Morris collection I am doing with Moda. They'll be showing it to the shop owners over the next few weeks.


Morris & Company will have 40 different pieces in the collection. Eight prints in a variety of colorways. We've scheduled it for delivery in November (with precuts a little earlier.)

Eyebright will blend nicely with the larger prints

This collection highlights William Morris’s skills at translating nature into pattern.  Eyebright, above, is a tiny alpine bloom.

Anemone

One of the larger prints is the showy Anemone, a floral that reveals Morris’s close observation of his garden.  

Brother Rabbit

Brother Rabbit features visitors with whom he shared the garden---birds and rabbits.

Wandle

The large print Wandle was named by Morris “to honor our helpful stream,” the river that flowed near the dyeworks, providing water for the coloring processes as well as a lovely landscape. The diagonal with it's branches (tributaries) symbolizes the river.  

Pink & Rose

Morris called this carnation print Pink and Rose. Pink is an old-fashioned name for carnation.
The accent color in this collection is a burnt orange. The colors echo the shades of the natural dyes so important to Morris’s vision.

Grafton

Wreath intertwines across the surface

Honeysuckle

This large direction print is one of at least two honeysuckle prints by Morris and Company.We used a black background for drama.


Morris & Company will inspire all who love the Arts and Crafts look for quilts, clothing and decorating.
