Book Description
"Embroidery is traditionally associated with the feminine and domestic realm, but there is a new wave of makers drawing on its untapped potential to explore global, political and even transgressive themes. Featuring more than eighty international artists, From Thread to Needle shows how the timeless appeal of embroidery is not only surviving but thriving in the modern world. Taking a free-wheeling attitude to time-honored techniques, some artists choose to combine media, applying embroidery to photographs, plastic bags or even slices of bread; others allow their stitches to stand alone, creating densely textured surfaces or delicate networks of natural forms that intrigue the senses. From Thread to Needle is a testament to how the art of embroidery has been re-energized by visionary artists who push the boundaries of its meaning and limits"--

Book Description
Choosing between living the life you want and living the life you’re “supposed to have” is not always an easy choice. Noah, embracing his true-self, wants to pursue a career in costume design, something his loving, public service parents would never approve of. Azarie, the perfect, model daughter of a very stern, traditional family, dreams of embracing the hobbies she secretly loves, hobbies her social circle would never abide by. The two live different lives and their social statuses keep them from ever crossing paths until they have a chance encounter that exposes some common ground: the desire to be who they truly are. Together, the two set out to put it all on the line and show everyone what they’re made of and what they want to achieve in the form of cosplay. Their growing friendship will be tested and their faith in themselves, as well as each other, will be tried. Up-and-coming writer David Pinckney (Fight Like a Girl) and first-time graphic novel artist Ennun Ana Iurov introduce a coming-of-age yarn about self-discovery, resilience, and the enduring power of having a person believe in you!

Book Description
In her new chapbook Miriam Weinstein guides us on a journey through "memory's markers, unpredictable/and selective." We travel with her through landscapes of loss and praise as she navigates family history and explores the role of memory in reclaiming that history. Even the most difficult of terrains-desire, doubt, faith-are constantly grounded through, and anchored in, the natural world: in "pink fists" of crabapple blossom and tangles of rose briar; through ripe corn, house sparrows, columbine and tulips. Here, in the end, memory and family history are bound beautifully together by love-a love that threads its needle through the generations. -Jude Nutter, author of Dead Reckoning and other collections. "I am a thread binding truths," says Miriam Weinstein in "Woman Wandering," and the same could be said of this book. Weinstein illuminates the apparently ordinary-rings, leaves, potholders, pearls, fishing line-so that we see in them some wildness that transcends the domestic. The poems in How to Thread a Needle together offer a unified composite of a life experienced within the succession of generations and continually refreshed by the natural world. Readers will find in this family of poems a deeply habitable world. -Thomas R. Smith, author of Storm Island, Windy Day at Kabekona, and other books The title of Miriam Weinstein's latest collection, How to Thread a Needle, reflects the intense attention she gave to making each one of the 30 beautiful and emotionally wise poems. The title also suggests that the narrator has found a way through times of challenge. Her voice is confident, yet vulnerable and inquiring. The themes-or threads-stitching the collection together include loss of a love; embrace of family pleasures and imperfections; issues of privation and privilege in the community; and encounters with the natural world. Miriam's ability to see and describe flowers, gardens, lakes, trees, and clouds enriches the experience of her poetry. Birds, many birds, appear here and there like charms, contributing to the color, sound, and spirit of the poetry. A reader will become happily lost and at home in this intimate and satisfying chapbook. -Margaret Hasse, author of Shelter and Between Us, among others

Book Description
“An inspirational story of forgiveness and restoration” in the quilting circle series from the New York Times bestselling author of A Thread So Thin (Fresh Fiction). The economic downturn has hit New Bern, Connecticut, and Tessa Woodruff’s herbal apothecary shop, For the Love of Lavender, is suffering. So is her once-happy thirty-four-year marriage. To relieve the strain, Tessa signs up for a quilting class at the Cobbled Court Quilt Shop, and to her surprise, rediscovers the power of sisterhood—along with the childhood friend she thought she’d lost forever . . . When her husband is convicted of running a Ponzi scheme, Madelyn Beecher is left with nothing but her late grandmother’s cottage in New Bern. Unfortunately, the cottage is in terrible shape, and Madelyn’s only hope is to transform it into an inn.
