A personal touch

Visiting different groups in Wandsworth and talking about the project - today the Association of Somalian Women in Battersea - take examples of embroidery that is important to me.















Including a dress made by my mother for me so long ago that I hesitate to say when - on parachute silk and embroidered with spring flowers from Cornwall, where I grew up.



















Grape hyacinths



















Daffodils




















Tulips.


Parachute silk is in fact nylon - a fabric readily available in the years after the war
