PENNY MORRISON'S BRITISH BLOCK PRINTS

When Claremont feted British interior designer Penny Morrison and her new fabric line last fall, I saw the fabrics and was instantly smitten with their joie de vivre, charm and versatility. Morrison has been designing classic interiors and small hotels in England and around the globe for the past 30 years. The fabrics came from a love of pattern, and the chance to share a vision. Their ethnic feeling and sophisticated palette of jewel tones is unique. The prints join the other fabric lines in the blockprint movement Carolina Irving, Lisa Fine, Pintura Studio, John Robshaw, Kathryn Ireland, Rose Tarlow early adapters Robert Kime and Michael Smith.
