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 .

Still here

 

Hi everyone, how are you?

It's been a while. 

Things have been hectic here since I returned from my trip to Paris.

In addition to tackling  piles of laundry I have a dose of man flu kindly gifted by my 

two year old grandson otherwise known as the super spreader. 

He is of course forgiven because he is so cute! 

Today though, a glimpse for you of some of my Paris haul. 

Now to find homes for it all.
