Description

Stitching the Self: A New Perspective on Needlework and Identity. The traditional view of needlework as decorative and domestic is being challenged by this innovative collection. By exploring the intersection of craft, artistry, amateurism, and professionalism, Stitching the Self reveals how needlework has been used to express political ideas, forge professional relationships, and document shifting identities. From quilting in settler Canada to the embroidery of suffragist banners, this book examines the transformative power of stitching. It shows how individual and communal involvement in textile practices have shaped both self and world, using the needle as a powerful tool for self-expression.
