Created by May Morris daughter of William Morris for Emery’s wife Mary during the last bedridden years of her life it exemplifies May’s astonishing needlework abilities. It also stands as a beautiful tribute to the friendship enjoyed between the Morris and Walker women and the creativity that love inspired. A treasured item the coverlet was used as the pall on the coffin of many members of the Walker household.<br/><br/>May’s Coverlet is made using hand-guided embroidery on a 100% linen base cloth to carefully replicate the fine stitching pattern by May Morris.
