"It is for these that I am within these walls"
I am due to deliver a finished piece for exhibition on Saturday, and it isn't even started yet
The theme is (of course) the suffragette, Emma Sproson, who was placed in solitary confinement in Stafford Gaol for her activities.
This confinement took place just after her "confinement" with child, and she was obliged to leave the baby with her husband as babies were not allowed in gaol in those days.
I imagine Emma yearning for her child and sitiching a cap for it for when she was released.
This sample shows text which has been stitched on to the brim of the bonnet. The words were taken from Emma's memoirs.
