The playing wasn't wasted however. It has given me an idea for a little ''extra'' favour that I will share with you when it has been given to a special person. The piece I showed you on my last post has stirred some debate comment and e-mail wise. Thanks for all the input, mostly positive. I have decided though that I don't like it so it will be consigned to the sample drawer. Well it would be if I had one, I have a sample house instead, piles of stuff everywhere. Maybe I should tidy up, sort out, empty a drawer and pile the contents somewhere else to create a sample drawer and a new pile!

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 .
