Looking Out and Looking In
This memory piece is my childhood home. It was my mams home for 69 years after
she married my Dad.
Mam always came to the front door to see everyone off and there would be a few
more minutes of chat before saying goodbye, while she ‘looked out’ from her front
door and we ‘looked in’ over the garden wall. Spring was her favourite season, when
the daffodils were in full bloom in her garden.

The Memory keep Experience
The process of making the Memory Keep piece is very satisfying. I’m really enjoying
how the piece is evolving as I choose fabrics, learn new skills and search for ways to
create the various elements that are meaningful to me to include in the piece.
Working with fabrics, thread, yarn and wool is very mindful and lets me slow down as
I focus one stitch at a time. It is lovely to work with my hands and to have that
freedom to explore my creative side.
It is great to share the process with others in the group and to hear their stories
about their pieces. Thanks to Linda and Sheila for their guidance and support.
