  6. โ€œHave nothing โ€ฆ that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.โ€ โ€”Wm Morris

    A huge influence on the Arts and Crafts movement, William Morris revived block printing and vegetable dyeing. He set up looms for weaving tapestry and hand-knotting carpets in his home. His designs were also translated into stained glass. He was a knowledgeable textile historian, and fascinated by medieval history and medieval architecture.

    Morris was the most successful textile designer and manufacturer of his day, with two London shops selling silk, cotton, and gauze. He designed and decorated parts of whatโ€™s now the Victoria & Albert. This museum has 1,100 objects connected to Morrisโ€”mainly textile and wallpaper, in various colours and scales, for interior decorating. Copyright on his repeating patterns of vegetation, flowers, and birds, recently expired, which fuelled a revival of these textile designs.

  7. "If a chap can't compose an epic poem while he's weaving tapestry, he had better shut up, he'll never do any good at all."

    So said the Victorian artist William Morris, born on this date in 1834.

  13. > So you see, I claim that work in a duly ordered community should be made attractive by the consciousness of usefulness, by its being carried on with intelligent interest, by variety, and by its being exercised amidst pleasurable surroundings.

  14. "The Green Tree and the Wet Stones of the Well"

    #Yeats on how #WIlliamMorris was trying to replace the dead tree (the cross?) of one sort of Christianity with a #FaithOfAbundance came to mind while looking at this FB meme.

  19. Quilt top finished! How unusual to not still be working on a gift on Xmas Eve... (though I've yet to piece & sew on the border, make the quilt sandwich, baste, quilt, bind etc, so that's still definitely a possibility). Even had a spare minute to make myself a little pincushion from the trimmings & a couple of spare squares.
