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

sofa.....


My sofa this morning after a relaxing evening watching back to back NYPD Blue and embroidering. I have added mirrors to cameos and partly created another swatch of bullion knots. I have nearly worked my way through four series.....I need another, I sense withdrawals when I have watched them all.
