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 .

You made it!!!! How I love to see your white on white.
Its good to see the back ...your fronts are all so perfect and the backs are 'human'. I can see the stitches and the pleasure from the back. Do you cover them when they're finished?
