The Art of William Morris in Cross Stitch Hardcover – October 15, 1996

This is a great book on William Morris cross stitch with beautiful designs. Besides larger projects (you can look inside this book, which will show you what is included), there are many smaller motifs that can be pulled from the larger designs and used in small projects you may want to make. I often pull a flower or leaves or some other small motif from larger designs and make needle books or scissor holders. It's a very nice book; the used copy I received was in great shape.

A beautiful book about William Morris and nice pattern adaptations of some of his work. It includes bird pillows- woodpecker, strawberry thief, and bird. Violets bed linen, the dove and rose picture, medieval jewel collection, evenlode tray and coasters, kelmscott press designs, pimpernel foot stool, pomegranate bowl lids, larkspur table linens, wild tulip tea party, the flower garden collection, tapestry pictures, orange tree bell pull, kennet dresser set and the brer rabbit picture

The book is done exceptionally well and the choices of work are some of my favorites. It is a little difficult to review this book because all of his work is fantastic and the patterns are so easy to follow. Barbara did a wonderful selection and showed a demonstration of good taste.

This is a lovely book with clear patterns. They do not have the level of complexity I was looking for right now. I’m keeping it because there may well be a use for simpler versions for some things I am thinking of. But there are plenty of what look like very rewarding projects that I think any level of cross stitcher will love.

This book is not a novel!! It is a beautiful book of many of this ARTIST'S creativity as an artist of poetry, painting, and was also a craftsman of fine,elegant furniture. This particular book is about his elegant Cross Stitch designs, with a beautiful introduction, with a lot of history, and then, the wonderful artistry.This book was published by Reader's Digest.

Fantastic book full of great project and amazing pictures.Great for experienced cross stitcher's. I am sure that you will find at least one project that you have to do. My problem is choosing which one to do first. Enjoy.

Great book, good patterns.

I love that the William Morris motifs pictured in this book are charted and ready to be stitched. There are just so many great projects here, you'll have trouble deciding where to begin.
