So far this piece is minimally embellished, A couple of edges of buttonhole lace, a little area of cross stitch petals, a row of that raised stitch that I don't have a name for and french knots. Alongside this we have favours being made and today I plan more hexagons, if I work extra, extra hard I may even get all the hexagons joined together. I think it's going to be a late one, good job there's a good film on channel four!!

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 .
