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 .

Hope you feel better soon
A warm bed, a hot bowl of soup, a nice cup of tea and sleep.
Take good care of yourself.
Take care, Karen!
Hope you feel better soon, Karen.
Lovely to see that everyone agrees with what we already know.
I knew I clicked on your blog ....but when I saw that teal! I had to scroll up to make sure I was at the right place.
I know you must not be yourself. Rest, tea, steam, repeat..hope you are better.
Hope you are feeling better soon... not feeling my best either. Congrats on the feature, very nice and most certainly deserved!
Lovely article link-thanks Karen. Take care and be back and bouncy very soon.
Do please get well soon, look after yourself. xx
Hope you get better soon, Karen. That's a great article and it shows some of your work with colour too! I found that ironic after your previous post saying you always thought you weren't good with colour. I was told that when I was very young and for years only drew in black and white. I finally decided to break out with some coloured pastels last year. For the record - I adore your work with colour - somehow the colour comibinations your use are so fresh and clear.
Oh do get well soon! 'This' was a very nice and well-deserved tribute.
Hope you're feeling better now. Thanks for the link to the much-deserved feature with such delightful examples of your work.
