    DESCRIPTION

     

    Recreate William Morris’ Strawberry Thief with this complete cross stitch kit which has been developed in collaboration with the V&A. 

    This is one of Morris’ best known designs and was inspired by the thrushes which often stole the strawberries in the kitchen garden of his countryside home, Kelmscott Manor, located in Oxfordshire. It looks fabulous when stitched in the high lustre Mouliné Spécial threads that are included in the kit. This design was intended to be used for curtains or draped around walls, or for loose covers on furniture. This all-in-one kit will allow you to create this stunning design, in cross stitch, and introduce some of Morris’ artistic charm into your own home.

    William Morris was an artist, designer, craftsman, writer and socialist who had a huge impact on the fashions and ideologies of the 19th century. Morris was instrumental in the revival of traditional British textile arts and methods of production. His work crosses various mediums, from book designs to carpets and textiles.

    The V&A, London is the largest museum of art and design, and houses over 2.3 million objects. The museum stores many of the UK’s national collections and some of the best resources for the study of architecture, furniture, fashion, textiles, photography, sculpture, painting, jewellery, glass, ceramics, book arts, Asian art and design, theatre and performance.

    The kit includes thread, fabric and all the accessories you will need as well as full instructions. You can also look at the step-by-step diagrams and video tutorials for all the stitches on our website.
