Beloved more than a century later, the classic botanical styling of these prints lends itself to creating beautiful quilts, home decor projects and accents that appeal to wide range of styles.

Morris Muse celebrates the unsung women of Arts and Crafts design.William Morris and fellows valued female associates as models, lovers,and muses—inspiration for male artistic creation. Morris’s wife, JaneBurden Morris, a classic “stunner” as the men termed the beauties,earned no fame for her talents, yet she and daughter May were artistsin their own right, designing, stitching, and overseeing masterpieces ofMorris needlework. Despite late-century conventions that kept thembehind the screens and drapes they stitched, women in Arts and Craftscircles were true design partners. Prints in the Morris Muse collectioncontinue innovations in natural patterns with rich reds and colorcomplements echoing interior fashion and the women’s personal style.
