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 .

Monday

 

Fifteen two inch quares marked out, each one has a scrap of paper and a scrap of fabric attached.

Next they will be cut out and stitch added before they form the next part of this collection. 

Also here, little bits that might inspire this work going forward.
