A recent thread was deleted because "it brought nothing useful of beautiful to the site". A reference of course to Morris's advice Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. I can't see what on earth this has to do with threads on GN. Many of which are just ways to pass the time, gossip or games. So can anyone find a connection between the two or am I right in thinking William Morris is now turning in his grave? Or is this perhaps a new turning for GNHQ and will all posts now be looked at for beauty and usefulness? (Possibly though the new moderator is an intern who has just finished an art degree )
I took it to mean that if whatever one is proposing to post on a particular thread does not advance the conversation but rather advances a btch-fest, the it's probably best left un-typed.
I used to like William Morris rather a lot but now I find his or probably more accurately Morris-esque fabrics too busy. I like the strawberry thief, though.
We have a sofa in Morris Pure linen ‘Marigold’ and our hall is ‘Willow bough’. Love William Morris and all he stands for. Several pieces of Arts and Crafts furniture and Libery pewter also
Love William Morris, my friends daughter, who is very clever, makes head bands and scrunchies using William Morris designs. They are lovingly made, with expensive material, but all the patterns are amazing. Wish I was clever....
This thread is BAD!
