"Helen provides a wonderful insight into her process. The book is well-organized, following a logical progression from observation through interpretations to experimenting and ultimately to making unique personal statements in her art. Her writing is clear and there are wonderful photographs of her inspirations and the resulting artwork. Although this is not a how-to book, where there is an example of a particular stitch, there is a clear explanation of how to do it." --Mixed Media Art Magazine"Informative sections on hand- and machine-stitching will aid you in your overall designs, as will tips on keeping sketches and journals, and transforming found items into fabric surface designs." --Craft Ideas
