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 .

Pinning headers

 


Do you remember this post?

I have finally started the process of finishing these pieces in order to create another cloth sample book.

After thinking about it I decided to use cloth headers, it really is the most practical solution. 

The strips of Liberty print fabric that are pinned here will be embellished with hand stitch at the seam.

There are seven more pieces requiring headers and once they are all finished with decorative embroidery they will be joined to finish the new cloth sample book.

Such pretty colours! (btw - I've been MIA due to a complete computer meltdown - new system now so fingers crossed I'm good for a few years!).
