A Blast From The Past

 Needlework is a traditional craft. It began out of necessity, of course; women stayed in the home, stitching, mending and knitting to provide clothing for their families. With every changing generation, and technological advances, knitting, sewing and mending became less of a daily chore. Thankfully these skills have been preserved and passed down from one generation to the next. What was once a household requirement could now be done not just for function but for fun. A hobby. A craft. A form of art. At Heartmade we take inspiration from everything around us - and sometimes it's nice to take a walk through the past and be reminded of old patterns, old styles, old techniques. To pay homage to the generations of women who stitched with their whole hearts long before we could thread a needle....Plus who doesn't love exploring antique shops??
