Personal Review: William Morris in Applique: Six Stunning
Projects and Over Forty Individual Designs by Michele Hill
William Morris (1834-1896) was an English architect, furniture and textile
designer who was also an artist and a writer. I was aware of his poetry
long before I saw any of his art or textile designs. His art translates
beautifully across a range of handcrafts and his designs are a joy to work.
Michele Hill has interpreted and translated some William Morris designs
into six simply stunning projects and over forty individual designs. The

projects include bed quilts, wall hangings and cushions. The gorgeous
colour photographs showcase the pieces and tempt the reader. Each
design has detailed instructions, and there are also general instructions for
those new to appliqué or quilting. Full size traceable templates are
included, together with clear photographs showing the embroidery and
finishing techniques used.
I've not yet decided which project I want to undertake first: I'll probably
settle for a small wall hanging incorporating the Tudor Rose design.
At the end of the book, Ms Hill includes a bibliography and a list of William
Morris collections, places to visit and some websites.
If you are interested in appliqué, this is a book to treasure.
