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 last one
All three pieces are finished and I am delighted to say that Debi loves them. I think they will become part of something else she is making, a small addition to a larger piece so no doubt they won't look like this when that piece is finished. Hopefully Debi will get lots of pleasure working with these just as I did making them. I have to say that I am not very happy with the quality of my photos at the moment, it's always so dark and dull here that they seem to lack that little bit of extra light. I try to lighten them on my p.c. software but you can't really beat the real thing, sunshine. I am certain that these would look miles better if I lived in the Sahara or somewhere! Mind you, the work would look better but I'm not sure about me! and where would I plug my computer? Oh well, need a different plan then.







The past couple of days seem to have been taken up with online stuff. Thanks to all you wonderful people I have been changing things, adding things, reading things, the followers tab has been added and then removed, added again and it's removed again. I don't know why but I can't seem to let my head accept that it fits on here so I am keeping it off for now. I am now adding labels to my posts, I believe that helps although it took me an age to figure out how to do it and now I know I realise that it's not exactly rocket science but that shows you how rubbish I am with technology. I must say though that I love the little pattern of words I now have top left especially the bold ones, now that I like a lot. Now I have to go and get these little things ready for their journey, so have a lovely friday and if you aren't sick of me yet check out these rather nice words about my work, thankyou Mary Anne. x
