Daisy Emboridery

Bursts of vivid multicolour please the eye at every turn in this newly embroidered fabric version of Morris & Co.’s earliest wallpaper (1864), Daisy. Hand-knotted finishes to the floral detailing couple with chunky stitching help to convey a crafted, tactile feel on a 100% linen base cloth. What makes Daisy so iconic are the sprays of floral miniatures inspired by William Morris’s visits to the British Museum’s illuminated manuscripts, creating a design which looks back on centuries of craftwork.

Today’s Daisy Embroidery takes as its source the Daisy wallpaper featured in the Arts & Crafts home of noted typographer, book printer and friend of Morris, Sir Emery Walker.
