The Cotton Mills of Lancashire have inspired a great deal of my work, especially my latest stitchery project.
I’ve combined my love of red thread with a vintage garment and the job titles of those working in the cotton industry to make a piece of wearable art.
I love red. This wonderful pincushion from Beyond Measure is made using cloth woven in Lancashire.
It’s a work in progress – my mind is already busy thinking about the next two pieces of embroidery I want to create! Does is happen to you too?
Love this artwork and the way you've responded to history and place 🙂 🙂
Thank you Gonerustic, I'm loving stitching the piece – more photos to follow in future posts. x
