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 .

Grandmothers flower garden

 

A little patchwork today, Grandmothers flower garden, hexagons.

I love making these, I lose myself, repetitive, meditative stitching.

There are no plans for these as yet but that's OK, they're here, they will be used at some point.

I'm in no rush. 

Thanks so much for all the love on the 'pillows' earlier this week. It's really appreciated.

There are just these two left in the shop now. 

(if your country isn't listed for shipping please contact me and I will try and work something out)

And such pretty flowers they are - perfect viewing on a sunny summer day. I love the mix of prints you are using, the way the patterns skip across the flowers, each slightly different... it must be a delight to lay them out and move them around, looking at all the possibilities.
