Reviewing the past



I did talk before about this antique hand-woven textile. I discovered in an old wooden chest at my parents in Sardinia. It has been in the family from 1814: my great, great grandmother drew the designs and prepared dyes from local plants. She dyed the wool from my granddad sheep for her own work. She created a bedspread that remained in the family for few generations.

Its the time to review the past and look forward to achieving more in the coming years. This ecourages me to continue to work hard in the coming years to avoid the disappearance of the Sardinian hand-woven fabrics.

this is beautiful and could be applied to so many different articles ... I absolutely love wool and am sad that so few designers/manufacturers use it
- I also have inherited bed covers made by my grandmother and still use them in the winter (which is very cold in scotland)
