A patchwork of memories

International Women's Day seems an appropriate day to post this... my entry for this year's World Book Night submission on the theme of memory.

A painting I’ve made of of a small blanket made by my mum before I was born, using scraps of dress and curtain fabric which held memories for her. I vividly remember this blanket from my childhood, and was always fascinated by the bold patterns and colours (an early influence perhaps?) A 1970's patchwork of layered memories of two generations of women.
