For centuries women have used cloth as a tool of comfort and as an expression of beauty within their homes. Creating cloth for warmth, cloth for shelter, our female predecessors embellished these linens with hand stitch using laborious and time consuming techniques thereby enhancing the functional beauty of objects which enveloped and protected their families. Inspired by these women I hope my creations pay tribute to and recognise the devotion expressed in cloth by our female ancestors .

How do you do all of this, in such a seemingly short amount of time!?! I am starting to feel like a real slug over here!

This is such a pure and beautiful way to embellish with the written word. I love this idea.
