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 .

a few glass beads



Before I did my disappearing act I made you a very short video.....just me chatting away about nothing much whilst I added a few glass beads to my pin pillow cloth. Tomorrow you can see the finished item, the pin pillow, two of them actually. - See more at: http://karenannruane.typepad.com/karen_ruane/#sthash.g5u73wse.dpuf
