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 .

Just a page and new patchwork plans.

 


It seems like a long time since I did any notebook stitching.

I came across this page yesterday and I'm tempted to continue where I left off here.

There are also new plans for patchwork, an idea I have for a new surface.

Too many ideas, too little time.
