Tulip & rose was designed by Morris in 1876 and could be purchased through his shop in Oxford Street, London. It was produced as heavy triple woven curtaining - perfect for draught-proofing large Victorian houses; the dramatic colouring also gives visual warmth to a room. Original fabrics are at Standen, the McCord Museum, Montreal and the Art Institute, Chicago.

Beth Russell has adapted Tulip & Rose with a choice of two background colours; ivory and dark blue. The kit is printed on strong polished de luxe canvas which is large enough to be made into either a cushion or chair seat. It also fits the stool seen on the Orange Border page.
