Honeysuckle embroidery




This hanging is a rare example of a collaboration between three members of the Morris family: William, who designed the honeysuckle pattern, and his wife Jane and daughter Jenny, who embroidered the fabric.

I Knew Jenny did some embroidery as therapy for her epileptic fits but never seen anything that survived before.
