  7. 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.

  20. 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.

    Beware if you plant them on the ground, it will be difficult to take them out, any bit of root you leave will germinate again.

  28. @raskolnik Wenn du die Sprache auf #WilliamMorris bringst, muss ich immer grinsen, weil mir dann das dezidiert "ideologiekritische", also linke ROMANTIK & GEWALT. EIN LEXIKON DER UNTERHALTUNGSINDUSTRIE von 1973 einfรคllt, in dem "Fantasy-Literatur" als Stichwort unter Horror vorkommt und Bernt Kling und Georg SeeรŸlen den guten William Morris mit keinem Wort erwรคhnen, dafรผr aber gaaanz viel Gewicht auf den reaktionรคren Gehalt des Subgenres legen ... Das warn noch Zeiten! ๐Ÿค
