OF FIBRE AND LIFE...
Bits and pieces of cloth sewn or glued together curtain the world.
Bits and pieces of knowledge skillfully intertwined make up the study of history.
Every civilization has this tradition of squirreling away precious fragments untill they are needed to create a whole.
Works of art,especially in the 20th century are often nothing more than ordered fragmentations-
with each fragment carrying it's own cultural load.

Images From My Exhibition...corners of the lovely Georgian Garden Room
SO beautiful ! ........ your work is amazing and I love the way you display it beautiful I plan on coming back late tonight [ with a glass of wine so I can just stare at it all and enjoy it again ] Thank you for posting these photos I LOVE what you do !
Congratulations it is so beautiful, and I hope a real success. I love that Gallery I came there many years ago to do some research on make do and mend, and they asked me if I could fix their Cornelli machine, but I only know how to use an Irish embroidery machine, well I have one so I use that ....good Show Ellen xxx Lynn xx
Hello Lynn, how interesting....I didn't know that they had a Cornelli machine, but then things may have changed as it now belongs to Colchester Institute who took it over about 2 years ago for their Masters Degree. I have been on the lookout for a Cornelli machine for quite a while...is the Irish Embroidery machine similar? I havenot seen one. Ellen xx
Hi Ellen hope all is going well xxxx The Irish has no foot feed and no foot it is all free hand embroidery.....Alice Kettle uses one for her work it is just a needle so the work is usually held in a ring..it does have satin stitch, that looks gorgeous. Ask about the cornelli it was kept in the room where the volunteers used to meet upstairs...large lofty room and it was against the wall in the corner by the door Good Luck xxxx
Hello Lynn...I'll enquire, but cannot rmember seeing it, and I was attending lectures and meetings upstairs last year.Thank you for the information :) xx
