Note: Annie Garnett (1864-1942) was a key Arts and Crafts Movement figure in the revival of hand spinning and weaving in the English Lake District. Garnett was acquainted with the Simpson family through the Keswick School of Industrial Arts and based her geometric patterns on natural forms, notably exhibiting a peacock feather embroidered screen at the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society in 1903.
