William Morris designed and printed his "Fruit" or "Pomegranate" wallpaper in 1862 at Red Lion Square in London. Lemons, oranges, peaches and pomegranates would all have been seen in the conservatories of the larger Victorian houses and Rossetti painted many famous portraits of Morris' wife Janey holding a pomegranate.
Beth Russell has produced four charming needlepoint kits based on the William Morris wallpaper design. They make ideal projects for beginners or to take on holiday. Their size can make small cushions, perfect for the small of our troublesome backs - or may be inserted onto larger cushions - or mounted side by side in a bolster-shaped pillow.
William Morris produced a very pretty watercolour and ink sketch some
time between 1880 - 1896, which is in the collection of the Victoria
& Albert Museum, London. Beth Russell has transformed this delicate
painting into a very elegant needlepoint rug, as usual keeping to
Morris' sensitive colouring and proportions.
