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 .

189 bullion knots

 


The right hand edge of the large silk piece...189 bullion knots.

I do love a bullion knot as you can tell!

More pages including the silk piece which was rescued from the 'pile' I mentioned yesterday.

Now that's dedication! They look beautiful - I especially love the randomness of the colours.

How pretty! They remind me of those edible necklaces we used to have as children.
