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

the other five....




I have been out today....Mothers day related shopping for mother of course....you may remember that I have been asked what I would like for Mothers Day, well after a lot of consideration I have asked for these and this...I am a very lucky mother.....
embroidery continues....a sample for the girls that you had a glimpse of yesterday and are seeing more of today...... and a video made this  morning  (before the shopping trip) embroidery related of course.
At the moment I am getting so much pleasure from my embroidery. Don't get me wrong, I always got pleasure from my embroidery but somehow sharing makes a difference.
