William Morris and Morris & Co. fabric designs are timeless - more popular now than when they were first released! This selection has been recoloured in Christmas shades, as the Oxford Holiday Collection, so you can have a festive look to your Morris & Co. favourites.
This listing is for 'Snakeshead' in the thorned rose colourway, a scaled down version of this classic symmetrical design, accented in gold and green.
Other photos show some more of this collection I have in stock. The scale of these FreeSpirit versions of these classic patterns is much smaller than when they were first released over 100 years ago, scaled down for patchwork, so they have a much more delicate effect.
Printed on patchwork weight cotton, these fabrics make an ideal coordinate for my sashiko panels, and the colours can be matched from my extensive range of sashiko threads. Free Spirit fabrics are printed on a 68 count cotton rather than the 60 count used for many other brands, meaning they are slightly finer than many patchwork fabrics and are also suitable for making clothing.
At the moment William Morris designs are hugely popular in Japan - my friends at Yuza Sashiko Guild have been interpreting some of these patterns in sashiko!

The Oxford Holiday collection celebrates the festive spirit, unfurling in iconic Morris & Co. designs dipped in classic Crimson and Wooded Dell. The familiar Morris & Co. colours are layered onto some of the most charming prints for this fabric collection. Rescaled to reveal new delights in the details, Lodden, Forest, and Chrysanthemum are just some of the designs bursting with the festivities. Yew & Aril compliments bolder designs with its petite scale, and Fruit becomes an instant classic in shades of Ink and Barbed Berry. This joyous collection of fabrics encapsulates the spirit of the season, inviting you to join in the celebration
