Crochet and embroidery

Crochet and embroidery is worked entirely by hand, motif by motif, before anything is joined to the cloth. It cannot be rushed and it cannot be machined — which is why every piece differs slightly from the last.

Each piece carries the name of the woman whose hands finished it.
