Tapestry Kit Designer

Beth Russell Needlepoint

Beth first discovered her knack for matching colours to wool while at the Royal School of Needlework in London. Over 20 years ago, she founded Designers Forum and has since gained an international reputation for her stunning needlepoint interpretations of William Morris designs. Unlike Morris’ originals, intended for wallpaper, fabric, and more, Beth’s creations are carefully adapted for stitching. Each design painstakingly sketched, painted, and tested on canvas until every shape and colour is just right. Through her kits and books, Beth invites everyone to explore their creativity and enjoy the quiet joy Morris believed we all deserve.
