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 .

nice seeing where you sit and stitch. i do lots of stitching in front of the tv as well.
Whereas I can't imagine how anyone can stitch and watch TV - it goes horribly wrong if I try it!
looks a bit like my corner, very homely
sofa and embroidering: two things I love...

Love the billions, and your needle case is devine, been meaning to make one forever
