The cover is decorated with the Stitchery of Jessie Chorley. Her words are from the stories her mother told, captured in red stitched script.

Each artist reminisces about their childhood.
Stories of holidays to the sea, cooking with mum, garments, happy memories and their associated colours and textures.
All form inspirations for their work.
