“I think sewing is a stress release. I'm not sure people are born quilters, but I do think it's in their make-up to get such joy from it. It's a way to express yourself.”

Rosemary McLeod's collection of handcrafts was exhibited at The Dowse in 2002-2003. This book shows items from the exhibition and others from her collection, telling the social and sometimes personal history of their makers - women and girls who dreamed about a life beyond the front gate, and worked those dreams into reality, using simple materials they had to hand.

Working exclusively with silk threads and fabric, and delicately balancing the use of space in her composition, Kusano's designs achieve the sophistication for which the best Japanese art is known. Selected works are shown here in full color with explanatory captions, while a separate section ...
