Ode to William Morris
by Ruth Berke
Designed by Patricia Cox
Ruth writes that she is looking for more William Morris reproduction fabrics. Can we ever get enough? She's taking a class from Patricia Cox who designed the above block and needs more fabric. I can see Ruth's used several prints from my first Morris Garden reproduction collection introduced about two years ago.
I am working on a third collection that will be in quilt shops in late fall. I'll be calling it A Morris Tapestry.
And Michele Hill, author of William Morris in Applique, writes on her blog that she will be doing a Morris-inspired line for In The Beginning Fabrics:
It will be very William Morris like (of course!) – not reproductions though – all new designs. And how wonderful that it is to be called “The Adelaide Collection” ....our home!Here's Michele's blog post:

The Adelaide Collection will be shown at Quilt Market this week so ask your quilt shop owner to buy EVERYTHING William Morris that she sees.
Michele's new Australian book More William Morris Applique will be out soon.
She's used The Morris Workshop fabrics in the quilt shown in detail above.

Carolyn More, William Morris Goes Aussie
Carolyn's sewing group all made quilts from this Shadow Box design they saw in an Australian magzine---a great way to use the 10" precuts that Moda calls Layer Cakes. Carolyn combined the fabrics from my Morris Workshop collection with a cheery blue batik. I think the pattern is from Mountain Peek.
