The inspiration for William Morris' best loved Strawberry Thief design came while 
he watched thrushes stealing the strawberries from his garden at Kelmscott Manor. Despite his frustrations at losing his fruit, rumor has it that Morris ordered that 
the birds be left to eat in peace. 

Morris spent years researching the lost art of natural dyeing and the strong blues in Strawberry Thief are the result of the indigo discharge method. 
Some of the original William Morris fabric still hangs in Kelmscott Manor 
and the fabric design is produced today by Liberty of London.
