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 .

White

 

White.

Piecing.......vintage white, white trim, white couture fabcric snippets. 

These pieces will be embroidered with white....bullion knots, French knots, tiny running stitches. 

I intended to create a short video...ha.

It's 17 minutes long but you can skip through it.

(Sorry for my absence...again. I have had facial surgery. It kept me quiet for a while x) 

You can enlarge the image by clicking on it x

I always love your white on white best. This has got me thinking about getting my white fabric box out. I hope the surgery went well xx

It's nice to see a return of white because, to me, it speaks 'Karen'.
Hope your surgery wasn't too invasive and that you are healing well.
