Tapestries

I have always liked tapestries, but at home they are usually limited to upholstery fabrics.

That is not so here in England. Tapestries are sold in many of the church gift shops, either as pillow covers, throws, or wall hangings. While many of them depict religious scenes, there are some that are just beautiful designs or pictures. When we were touring in the Cotswolds, I found a shop that sold nothing but tapestries. I especially like the ones that were designed by William Morris (1834-1896), a British writer and artist who was a designer in textile arts.

Now we have two tapestries hanging in our flat. They will look good back at home too.
