In the Author's Words.....
"The most logical approach to the lovely Morris designs would have been to use them for the surface embroidery or weaving for which they were originally intended, but for me there is a perverse pleasure in defeating the rigidity of the canvas while retaining as much of the design as possible. Some designs have proved much easier to translate into needlepoint than others."(pg 10)

From the publisher..... "This glorious guide presents 25 classic needlepoint projects based on the designs of William Morris and his contemporaries in the Arts & Crafts movement.

Arts & Crafts Needlepoint is an exquisite collection of patterns inspired by one of the most influential design movements of the Victorian era—from the lush florals of William Morris to the luminous stained-glass motifs of the Tiffany Studios. The designs range from the simple to the more elaborate, with alternative patterns often provided. Each of the designs is accompanied by clear, stitch-by-stitch charts, suggestions for the best needle size and canvas mesh, precise yarn requirements, stitch types, and order of work. A practical reference section also provides complete information on basic techniques and framing. Originally published as Victorian Needlepoint, and republished here with new photos and designs, this is a timeless collection for all needleworkers."
