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.
We are always adding new designs to our
range of kits. Everything from needlepoint pillows,
cushions, rugs and miniatures to firescreens and wall
hangings. One of our most recent additions is the lovely
and versatile William Morris Panel (shown above)
that can be made into a piano stool, wall hanging or even
into a rug with an optional border.
