Honeysuckle Border Pillow, Cushion, Fire-Screen
Designers Forum
Honeysuckle is the border that Morris designed to surround his marvelous Woodpecker tapestry. Our interprestation is as adaptable as the plant itself, looking as attractive vertically on a bellpull as it does on a stool, pillow or cushion. The original tapestry now resides at the William Morris Gallery, Walthamstow. Beth Russell has adapted Honeysuckle so that it can be made into a comfortable cushion, a stool top or, if turned upright, into a firescreen. A chart is provided for initials to be stitched in the central area. The cushion is available in two colourways. Please state your choice when ordering.
