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 .

What a lovely display. Be thinking of you during this week, hope you manage to keep sane
The pincushion on the left on the bottom row is my favourite! Good luck with the building work. I would recommend starting the new idea after you have the new bedroom, so you can start a permanent project area for it.
Wow- that's productivity on a grand scale!
good grief they are multiplying!
Holy-moly, everything is just FABULOUS!!! My heart is going thumpty-thump, beating with textile love.
Your whole blog is gorgeous with exquisite work. I love these little puff balls.
