Beth Russell and
Designers Forum Needlepoint
Designers Forum is the world's leading producer
of needlepoint kits based on the 19th century designs
of William Morris and
William De Morgan and other
members of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
Founded over twenty years ago, the company is headed
by Beth Russell, best-selling author
of three needlepoint books and
long-suffering mother of two boys (there is still some
debate as to which is more work !). Beth first discovered
her love of needlepoint and embroidery while working at
the Royal School of Needlework in London.
Beth's large range of needlepoint kits has
something for experts and beginners alike and following
William Morris' edict that one should "Have
nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful,
or believe to be beautiful", she has
used only the finest materials in her kits so that you
can create an heirloom to treasure forever.
