The technique of free machine embroidery provides an opportunity to explore the complexity of drawing in stitch.

These objects hold memories and are a vehicle for storytelling, shared experiences, laughter, rites of passage, the feminine. I am reminded of lazy Sunday afternoons watching movies with my mother when I was a girl and of new memories created with my daughters.
