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 .

Is it going to have a curved edge? Like how the circles break up the lace
it's looking beautiful. do you know what the measurements of the finished piece will be?
WOW!!!!
This one has made with stealth speed!!!!
Its beautiful, quite beautiful.
I absolutely love the way these whites are progressing. Each time it makes me want to do more myself, or just delight in it in some way (eat it, wear it - ha ha - it's so gorgeous!)

I've taken pity on you and popped over to dwell in your lovely embroidered world. Your white patched and embroidered pieces are so lovely. I think a white quilt would be so beautiful (admittedly it might take a year to make but...)
Oh, my how pretty! I'm so glad to be able to log in and see your progress. Very nice!

Looking great - I love that curved edge!

Lovely-and since I have learned how to make Rouleau Loops your way-I love making them! I cannot imagine not using them.
Stunning cloth that your daughter will love!
This is beautiful.
Oh my. Are you sure you can't adopt me? Definitely a heirloom being created.
