“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. From rag rugs to felt handbags, from patchwork quilts to sacking aprons, from cheery tea cloths to topsy-turvy dolls, they provide a unique insight into women's art and creativity in a new country finding its way.

Shizuka Kusano is one of the most admired and recognized textile artists in Japan today. With the publication of
The Fine Art of Kimono Embroidery
, readers in the West will come to know and appreciate her work for its great beauty and grace. Kusano's canvases are kimono, obi (the sash used to tie the kimono) and tapestries, on which she creates extraordinary compositions in brilliant color and subtle tones, with a rich contrast in textures. Her themes are drawn from Japanese poetry, literature and art, and feature such seasonal motifs as trees, flowers, birds, and streams, designs which are uniquely Japanese in sensibility and expression. 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 ...
