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 .

stash

 

Yesterday I spoke about stitching hexagons for my stash.

Today I thought I'd share more of the stash with you. 

This is less than a quarter of it.

Buttons and fabric beads all made by hand.

How big is your stash?
