William Morris, Mays Coverlet, cushion cover: Arts & Crafts Pillow, embroidered linen William Morris famously said, Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. Hand sewn cushion cover made from the simply stunning William Morris crewel embroidered linen design Mays Coverlet in Twining Vine colourway. It has been piped in a matching olive greeen cotton & there is a choice of fabrics available for the reverse. All the seams have been double sewn & four stitched overlocked for strength & there is a concealed zip beneath the piping on the reverse for ease of opening. In the bedroom of Emery Walker's House lies a most incredible object now interpreted by the Morris & Co. design studio; a crewel embroidered coverlet. Created by May Morris daughter of William Morris for Emery's wife Mary during the last bedridden years of her life it exemplifies May's astonishing needlework abilities. It also stands as a beautiful tribute to the friendship enjoyed between the Morris & Walker women & the creativity that love inspired. A treasured item the coverlet was used as the pall on the coffin of many members of the Walker household. May's Coverlet is made using hand-guided embroidery on a 100% linen base cloth to carefully replicate the fine stitching pattern by May Morris.

All my covers are single- sided only with linen or velvet on the reverse. If you require your cushion to be double- sided please message me. Thank you so much. The cushion's actual colours may be ever so slightly different due to my photographic skills & your monitor's colour settings.
