Gertrude Fabric

Gertrude was inspired by a crewel work embroidered bed hanging by Abigail Pett, which she embroidered between 1680-1700 and is now housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The bed hanging was first redrawn in the late 19th century by Gertrude Jekyll who was sent by George Percival Baker to Bosworth Hall as part of the renovation of the Hall. Seen here in the Document Green colorway.
