What joy this space 'twixt birth and death can give. ~William Morris
Not all tiles and colors of every pattern are shown here. Follow the links to the product pages to see colors and variations. (The individual catalogs are new so you'll see some changes in format while I polish them to consolidate images for faster loading and add some short descriptions)
Most of these patterns, such as Daisy, Strawberry Thief, and Brother Rabbit have particularly colorful backstories. Where I know these, I include that on the individual product pages.

Some of these patterns were produced by Morris & Co. during Morris's life -- Morris made frequent visits to Merton Abbey even in his later years, and a collaborative influence is very much seen on patterns such as Blackthorn and Golden Lily. Many later patterns are attributed to John Henry Dearle, who apprenticed at Morris & Co., but clearly show elements from other Morris designs, some of which were definitely designed by May as well as others at Morris & Co..
