Beth Russell
 
The Forest
 
The Forest was woven in 1887 at Merton Abbey and measured 4 x 15 feet.  This unique medieval fairy-tale of a tapestry was designed by William Morris who oversaw the weaving.  These needlepoint kits are a more practical size and Beth Russell has retained the flowing shapes and gentle shading of the original.

De Morgan Animals
 
Little Birds, Owls, Rabbits, Pigs, Frogs, and Frog and Stork
 
William de Morgan's sense of humour is best illustrated in his ceramic tiles, a few of which Beth Russell has adapted for stitching.  Whether you choose the needlepoint on a beautifully printed canvas or the cross stitch with a clear colored symbol chart, you are likely to be stitching with a smile.
