The Stitch Life ~ Binding Included

Underneath the jokes, there is the thing itself: the rhythm of a machine warmed up, a seam running true, the particular quiet that quilters cross state lines to find. This collection lives there (Alpine Stitching, Stitching Serenity, Seam Surfing), with designs about the practice, for the practitioners.

These are for the retreat where you actually intend to sew, the Saturday when the house is finally empty, the stretch of winter when the sewing room is the warmest room in every sense. The stitch life is a real life, and it has earned its own portrait.
