The May’s Coverlet fabric features in the Emery Walker’s House collection by Morris & Co. This collection is inspired by the love between friends and the legacy of a truly historic home.
In the bedroom of Emery Walker’s House lies a most incredible object, now interpreted by the Morris & Co. design studio; a crewel embroidered coverlet. Created by May Morris, daughter of William Morris, for Emery’s wife, Mary, during the last bedridden years of her life, it exemplifies May’s astonishing needlework abilities. It also stands as a beautiful tribute to the friendship enjoyed between the Morris and Walker women, and the creativity that love inspired. A treasured item, the coverlet was used as the pall on the coffin of many members of the Walker household. May’s Coverlet is made using hand-guided embroidery on a 100% linen base cloth to carefully replicate the fine stitching pattern by May Morris. This fabric is available in 2 beautiful colour ways and is suitable for curtains, blinds and cushions.
If you are planning to use this fabric for a wave curtain, please note that due to the high percentage of linen in the fabric, the curtains may not naturally want to hold the wave shape. We would recommend dressing the curtains in the wave shape and tying them for 2-3 weeks to encourage the fabric to ‘learn’ the wave shape. The waves may flair out at the bottom, but this would be quite normal for a linen fabric. If you would prefer a more structured wave look, we would recommend looking for an alternative fabric with a higher percentage of synthetic fibres which lend themselves more naturally to the wave design. The filters on the fabric page will help you to refine your fabric search but please get in touch if we can offer any assistance or you would like any fabric suggestions to match your brief.
