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 .

Oh, my dear talented lady, no need to be jealous of my painting skills. I could say the same about your exquisite needlework. So let's have an "Admiration Society". :-)
Thank you!!!

oh, my! Bows trimmed in lace? Are you creating rows of bows for an edging?
The samples you made are stunning, some of my favourites to date
they are like little gems
Not just edges, but a tassel...
