William Morris Willow Bough Blue 100% Cotton Fabric By The Half Metre

William Morris Willow Bough Blue 100% Cotton Fabric By The Half Metre

From: £8.00 - In Stock

This Licensed William Morris Design was first produced in 1887. Willow Bough was influenced by the trees Morris would see on his walks in the country from his home, Kelmscott Manor. His daughter May wrote of the design, "We were walking one day by our little stream that runs into the Thames and my father pointed out the detail and soon after the paper was done." We also have Willow Bough in a green and cream colour option.

The 100% cotton is printed in the United Kingdom, just like all our fabrics. Our cotton fabric is brilliant for an array of craft projects, including quilting. For a full range of ideas, please check out our inspiration section!

The cotton fabric is 152 cm wide including a 2.5cm each side salve edge. The pattern repeat for Willow Bough is 29cm. For the fabric length, it's sold by the half metre, so you can choose your length using the drop down above. If you order more than 0.5m in the same order, it will be sent as a continuous length.

We use high quality cotton fabric which is printed in the United Kingdom. Our printer is a long-established British printer. If you would like a closer look at any of our fabrics, you can get in touch and we’ll be happy to send you a free sample if you’re within the UK. Every single one of our William Morris designs are licensed Morris designs. We print and manufacture all of our William Morris designs to our own specifications in terms of both size and colour to best suit our products. We can keep our fabric cheaper than competitors by printing within the UK and reducing transport costs, we are exclusively an online retailer and therefore we don’t need to pay for flashy showrooms! When you purchase from Laura’s Beau, you are purchasing your product directly from the manufacturer and so we can dictate our prices and keep them competitive. So - buy British and buy with confidence that you’re purchasing a licensed William Morris design.

🍓 William Morris Month Day 14 🍓 Strawberry Thief was inspired by William Morris’s watching the thrushes under the strawberry nets at the stunning @kelmscottmanor 🌿 May Morris conjured up this scene when speaking of the design, “You can imagine my Father going out in the early morning and watching the rascally thrushes at work on the fruit beds and telling the fanned who growls ‘I’d like to wring their necks!’ that no bird in the garden must be touched. There were certainly more birds than strawberries in spite of attempts at protection. And the walls of the little dining-room are hung with this note of the June garden and the little lords of it.” 🍓 What a lovely insight into the Morris family life! 🥰

✨ William Morris Month Day 11 ✨ A spotlight on Willow Bough today! 🌿 This beautiful botanical design was first designed in 1887, isn’t it so timeless! It actually was the design his daughter May Morris used to decorate her bedroom before it was adapted for wallpaper in 1895 when it was block printed in Merton Abbey 🇬🇧

🌟 William Morris Month Day 6 🌟 Celebrating World Book Day by settling down with some of our favourite William Morris books! 📚 Did you know that when Morris died, his physician was quoted on the cause of death as, “simply being William Morris and having done more work than most ten men”. When reading through at his life, it’s incredible to see how much he did achieve in his 62 years; from his designs, his printing achievements at Merton Abbey, creating the Kelmscott Press, his poetry and writings and much more! ✨
