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 .

Gimp and prairie points.

 


There has been progress with the embroidered pieces from this post.

Two of those have been joined and gimp has been added running across both pieces to 'draw' them together. 

The other has been joined to a piece you didn't see in that post. 

Prairie points have been added to the joining seam as you can see in the image today. 

I'm very busy at the moment with a new project for class.

I hope to be able to share a little of that with you soon.
