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 .

rouleau loops....

Didn't I say there would be an abundance of rouleau loops? Well here you are, maybe not an abundance but (and I've had the thesaurus out) a copiousness? a riot? a profuseness? No? O.k. a few then...well more than I had yesterday morning anyway!! I have joined two sections of toe wrap two and these form the seam. It's always a momentous occasion for me, the joining of two sections. It means I am making progress. You can see here my machine stitched bias strips and then my turned tubes. They look lovely like this, then I go and cut them all up, oh well, wouldn't have any rouleau loops if I didn't would I.
Yesterday I had trillions of visitors on here, I kid you not. This was due to a wonderful referral from here and for a stat obsessed blogger that can only be good. I would recommend you have a look regardless of them being nice to me because it's a lovely place that I never even knew about until yesterday. I am going to enjoy the moment anyway because next week it will be lonely again, just me and you...never mind. Good job we kind of like each other.
