I am so happy to receive this book from Michele, who kindly had a giveaway on her blog and gave one to me although I wasn't officially the winner. Michele even delivered it to my front door!
It is a beautiful book showcasing Michele work (can you see on the right? That's Michele's applique! I know!).
Of particular interest to me in the book is the Morris & Co's South Australian story. Fancy a sitting room with all the Morris trimmings?
Michele also gives directions for six projects with full size pattern sheets and lots of pictures. Available here. Thank you so much, Michele!
And the wonderful tapestry The Adoration of the Magi, from the collection of the Art Gallery of SA. One of my favourite Christmas card images.

such a beautiful book! and such a lovely thing for Michelle to do! I adore William Morris works and the whole Arts and Craft movement. I am sooo happy you subcribed to the mags, you will love them so much, EC talks to visual artists as well as crafty peeps
I love William Morris and his works. Funny then that I actually married a Morris.
When we went to England, Ella and I enjoyed visiting the Victoria and Albert museum where they have a lot of his work.
My mum recently bought me a lot of William Morris fabric, but I have no idea what do to with it.
I love the title of this post. It's not a bad world, is it? More kind people than you expect! Have a great tour down under!
the book is lovely - her work is amazing.

So many places to stalk you now.
Did you see the Morris exhibits at the SA Museum a while back...swoon-worthy indeed.
Love me a bit of Morris. And some Rennie MacKintosh.
William Morris is great and I love his book. This one is especially amazing.
