Recently, I came across some scribblings in one of my earlier notebooks:
Seek to understand the tradition, and the techniques
will regenerate within your imagination
& this helped me start to create this stitch reference library of 'stitches of importance & value'. And as I begin, I recall that when people have seen my actual samples, they often mention words like 'what lovely stitching ... what a pity it wasn't looked after better'. So because many of the samples are incomplete, partially worn, have stitching missing or other related evidence of having 'seen better days', I've decided its appropriate to title this digital reference record as:
REMNANTS OF A PAST LIFE!
