A visit to Kelmscott Manor

A wonderful day exploring Kelmscott Manor, the country retreat of William Morris (father of the Arts and Crafts movement) and his family in Kelmscott Gloucestershire.  I’ve been wanting to visit here for such a long time and so glad we finally did.  It is so easy to see why he loved it here and why it provided such inspiration.  The embroideries and tapestries by Jane and May Morris were so beautiful.  The paintings and sketches by Rossetti who lived at Kelmscott for a time were glorious to see.

New Cross Stitch Design called Pumpkin Pal - Free

I'm delighted to introduce you to my new counted cross stitch design called Pumpkin Pal.  This chart is my gift to you (a freebie) in celebration of the autumn equinox.  I've dedicated this sweet design to my lovely stitching friend Charly Feathers, who is so encouraging of my creations.  

You will be able to download the pattern from my website at www.thistleheartcreations.co.uk

Please share the link to my website with friends and family, and don't forget to tag me on your photos so I can see what you create.  Karen x
