Just finished reading this book last night, but am now turning back to re-read a few sections. Clare Hunter writes wonderfully well and is passionate and very knowledgeable about her subject. I finished the book inspired by the stories she tells, with a list of things to find out more about, and with more than a few project ideas floating around in my head.
My good friend, neighbor and occasional catsitter Judit has written a book! It is a work of art and worth checking out, even if you aren't into embroidery or knitting. She worked on the project over the past several years while also battling long covid. It's on presale now and will be out on September 29th.
