Artichoke was first designed by William Morris in 1877 and the inspiration for these most elegant chair seats and cushions was stitched in wool on linen. Various versions can be seen at the William Morris Gallery, the V & A Museum, the Fitzwilliam Museum and Standen.

This superb design was originally produced by Morris as an embroidery kit. It could be purchased as an outline on fabric with some of the stitching partially done if required. Working with wool on linen, one of Morris' clients embroidered eight full size wall-hangings in crewel. 

Beth Russell has adapted three parts of Morris' Artichoke for needlepoint. Each is beautifully printed on strong polished de luxe canvas which is large enough to be made into cushions or chair seats.
