I finally finished reading Threads of Life by Clare Hunter last night.

As someone who stitches a lot and likes a bit of history, this book jumped from the shelf into my hands when I saw it.

It's not a challenging read, it is truly fascinating. Talking about the secret messages in embroidery, using stitching for activism, stitching in prisons, through war, suffragettes, even Mary Queen of Scots gets a mention.

This is definitely a book that will get to stay and not be sent to the charity shop.

Its a book that made me think (a rarity, I know), made me reflect on the things I sew, has perhaps sparked something in me to stitch something of my own design, maybe just pick up the needle and go with whatever comes to mind.

Damnit, I have things to do and all I want to do is stitch!
