Libby Fife sent a photo of a wall hanging she's made in a series of craftsman-style pieces. A friend machine stitched the floral designs and Libby painted them.
And Ann Loar sent snapshots of a quilt she has made out of fabric from my Moda collections of William Morris reproduction lines. Her pattern is from Fig Tree Quilts. They call it Sugar Swirls. It's a rendition of an old pattern, # 3748 in my Encyclopedia of Pieced Patterns. Hearth & Home magazine published it as "Tennessee" about 1910, the Kansas City Star showed it in red, white and blue stripes in 1932 and called in "Liberty Star." Capper's Weekly called it "Stars of Stripes" in 1941. It's a great quilt for Moda's strip cut Jelly Rolls and Honey Buns.
I'm working on a third Morris reproduction line for next year. I'll keep you posted.
Below is the only surviving easel painting by William Morris; it's a portrait of La belle Iseult, with his wife Janey as the model. I love her almost-patchwork dress and the dog curled up in the bed, which is where mine is right now as I type. The painting is in the Tate Gallery in London.
