hand stitched

This has kept me busy for the past 2 months, I'm making new work for the Leytonstone Arts Trail. I've been hand stitching (literally) charity shop finds, my mothers aprons and blankets and pillow cases from my childhood home.

Numb fore and middle finger on my right hand, blood shed.
