Soul Garden Collection - Hand printed and embroidered botanical illustration on linen, with wooden hoop
ref. qd03
c. 1900
This elaborate garment displaying beautiful dival embroidery, was a popular Turkish export from 1850-1920. This one was worn by Lillian Gambrell McCall (1880-1959) of Bennettsville, South Carolina. She married Charles Sinclair McCall in 1911 and lived on Appin Plantation.
Dival embroidery is typical of Turkish work – the wrapped thread is stitched to the fabric, not embroidered through it. The circular shape, upstanding collar and rolled thread buttons reflect an Albanian style cape or mantle.
Gift of Catherine Rogers (Lillian’s granddaughter) in 2009
This will be the flap on a spring time version of the Keyka Lou Messenger Bag. The embroidery pattern is a William Morris design from the book Crewel Embroidery in England published in 1975. I modified it a bit and jazzed up the colors.
Here is my previous version of the messenger bag

I love hankies especially vintage ones, I couldn't resist doing a little stitching on this one I picked up from Elsie Betty.
I have three more of these and, if finished in time, they will be making their debut at Finders Keepers and BiECO.

Vancouver’s Chinese Garden was built in 1985-1986 using the time honored principles and techniques of the original Ming dynasty garden. Fifty-two master craftsmen from Suzhou China, working with Canadian counterparts, completed this landscape masterpiece within a year. The intricate halls and walkways are constructed with precise joinery and without the use of nails, screws or glue. The Garden opened on April 24, 1986.
Based on the principle of collaborative design, the Garden compliments the adjacent public park; enhancing the view in both places.
For the architect, the botanist, the student of history, the lover of beauty, the Garden provides insights into the subtle wonders to be found within the walls of this living treasure.
This has been needlefelted then embroidered. Part of my new range going on my website and Love-Local website very soon.
There wasn't enough fabric to make both front and back of the tote; I could have made a much smaller tote, but what good is one if it isn't big????

Rahima (left) - a master embroider - has been supported by AKF to set up her own business. AKF provided Rahima with the initial materials to get the business running. She now employs 10 women who help clean the wool, prepare the dyes and are learning the craft. Her pieces are sold in local markets and exhibited in Khujand in northern Tajikistan. Rahima learnt the craft from her mother (right). Her daugter is in the middle. In Murghab, AKF supports several groups like these. Not only do these women earn an income through these activities but they are also helping reshaping the role of women and their perceived value within their communities.
