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 .

The secret project is intriguing. Wish I could get to the Makey Do... I think your stall is going to be wonderful.
that second picture with the french knots is stunning. I hope you do well at the 'MD'
The stitching is scrumptious!
...I have my theories as to what the secret project may be, but I am keeping mum, (and I of course could be totally off base!) Your stand will no doubt be mouthwatering beautiful as well! Enjoy all of your accomplishments... you are a marvel of talent.
Yummmy yummmmy colors...and, I agree, all those French Knots are fab! I would love to come to Makey Do and see all the goodies...

PS...Trying to be patient and see what the mystery project will be.
Oh, I wish I could go to Makey Do. Sounds like such fun. I am sure your table will be incredible. Someday I hope to see your work in person.
I am coming to you for lessons, I've been in awe of your knots for a long time. This looks stunning
Not only do I envy your ability with French knots, but your sense of colour too! It's awesome.
I know I always say this but, "beautiful"! and intriguing. Your stand will be fabulous. Looking forward to the "mystery solved" : )
It's so beautiful. A list sounds like a good idea but you have plenty of ideas and I know your stall will be beautiful too. Did you ever imagine so many people would be 'in awe of your knots'?! Thanks for commenting on my Round the Island post. I didn't grow up by the sea but in Leeds and living here is a dream come true.

Hope all goes well with MD and creating all the fabby things you want to.
