A Transfer of Affection

 

Another precious find from my Mother's collection of saved 'stuff' are these blue embroidery transfers. Some are dated from 1934, several years before she was born in 1942 and so must have been inherited or passed on.

These are the starting point for a new piece of work for the Spotlight Textiles exhibition planned for April 2023 called "Spotlight on...........Heritage"

Amazingly the blue transfers still work wonderfully well and I hope to give them a contemporary twist whilst fondly remembering my lovely Mam in every stitch.
