This collection brings together twelve textile projects created between 1981 and 2024, each serving as a social history document. Completed by Lynn Setterington, these works provide tangible evidence of often overlooked stories of people on the margins.

The projects range from small, colorful hand embroidered fragments to monumental site-specific banners, showcasing themes such as identity, belonging, health, wellbeing, sustainability, community cohesion and social inequality.

Through her work, Setterington shares insights into her creative process, project management, and the challenges of socially engaged practice. This book offers a unique glimpse into the author's life in stitch, highlighting the importance of textile languages and the rituals of everyday life.
