Designer's Forum Tapestry rug

What a strange and unsettling morning I have had. News that a relative has passed away in France suddenly while travelling with her husband and news that my friend's daughter is in hospital unconscious. I send my thoughts to the immediate families of those loved ones. Life can be so fragile...

Have you dredged up a UFO as old as this tapestry floor rug? 12 years ago I started it! I only had ever done a few inches of work on it before leaving it to sit in the cupboard FOREVER. Over the last few months I have started stitching it again. It is not a small rug - about 100cm x 60cm. It's a Designers Forum Holland Park needlepoint kit using a design by a William Morris colleague William Frend de Morgan (1839 - 1917). The yarn is high quality Appletons crewel wool. Well its been fun to revive my interest in tapestry.
