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 .

How very lovely! I always enjoy seeing what you are making.
Now I'm curious to know what happens to the sequins when the book is closed? Will they get bent out of shape or will there be a corresponding 'hole' created on the preceding and following pages to accomodate them...
Hi...they won't get bent as the book doesn't close properly because of the other page additions x
