How Crafting Saved My Life

From the 2-time Tony Award-winner and the star of TV's Younger, funny and intimate stories and reflections about how crafting has kept her sane while navigating the highs and lows of family, love, and show business (and how it can help you, too). Whether she's playing an "age-defying" book editor on television or dazzling audiences on the Broadway stage, Sutton Foster manages to make it all look easy. How? Crafting. From the moment she picked up a cross stitch needle to escape the bullying chorus girls in her early performing days, she was hooked. Cross stitching led to crocheting, crocheting led to collages, which led to drawing, and so much more. Channeling her emotions into her creations centered Sutton as she navigated the significant moments in her life and gave her tangible reminders of her experiences. Now, in this charming and poignant collection, Sutton shares those moments, including her fraught relationship with her agoraphobic mother; a painful divorce splashed on the pages of the tabloids; her struggles with fertility; the thrills she found on the stage during hit plays like Thoroughly Modern Millie, Anything Goes, and Violet; her breakout TV role in Younger; and the joy of adopting her daughter, Emily. Accompanying the stories, Sutton has included crochet patterns, recipes, and so much more! Witty and poignant, Hooked will leave readers entertained as well as inspire them to pick up their own cross stitch needles and paintbrushes.

The fingers of a quilter stitch portraits of love with every pull of the thread. From the lines of the pattern to the clip of the final string, a quilter stitches moments in time. Woven through the intricate quilt blocks, stories of family, history, and hope for the future turn scraps of material into memorable tributes. In those hours of creation the quilter ponders life, legacy, and love. As the quilt folds across the lap of a quilter, reflection, prayer, and quiet moments resonate.

A Patchwork of Promises: 30 Devotions for Quilters pieces together, block by block, a thought to ponder and a verse to consider. Gayle Ottemiller threads the needle of Christ and pierces the material of your life, allowing you to intertwine a deeper love of God into the quilts you create. Inside each devotion is a prayer or a patterned thought as well as a suggestion to help you make your stitches useful for the Kingdom. A Patchwork of Promises:30 Devotions for Quilters will draw you nearer to God as you quilt and tie the threaded knot tight to the hem of His garment.

Your Complete Guide to Furoshiki - the Japanese Art of Wrapping

Wrap anything from a wine bottle to a yoga mat with this practical Japanese fabric-wrapping book. Long before today's eco-friendly philosophy of "reduce, reuse, recycle" entered America's collective consciousness, furoshiki—the Japanese method of wrapping things with fabric—flourished as a time-honored and practical art form. In Wrapping With Fabric, Etsuko Yamada—born into a long-line of furoshiki makers in Kyoto—explains the "one cloth, many uses" ideology behind the craft, the etiquette of color and the craft's fascinating history. From there, she shares the myriad ways in which a few basic techniques can transform a simple square of cloth into an elegant wrapper. Use your folded fabrics to: Gift-wrap anything from books to flowers Bundle up a picnic Tote items around Use as a handbag or backpack Make into a pillow covering Create decorative coverings for vases, tissue boxes, and more A quiet reminder that opportunities for artistry are everywhere around you, Wrapping With Fabric is the craft book that makes it easy to bring a touch of grace and ingenuity to everyday life—and help preserve the environment, too.
