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 .







''the use of traditional often time consuming process alludes to the devotion of a mother''. c K. A. Ruane 2007

adorning, titivating.....







I have been making funky puffs for edges and adding lace to edges...this lace added to an edge of rouleau loops.
I want to paint, yes...I actually WANT to paint so if it's possible time will be set aside for that later this afternoon. Don't ask me what I will paint because I haven't a clue. I just feel the need...depending on how that goes I may show you. If it's a total disaster it will never be mentioned again......
