Marking Time with Fabric and Thread: Calendars, Diaries, and Journals within Your Fiber Craft

Unlock daily creativity with this guide for recording time by using fiber craft. Using weaving, stitching, quilting, or other fiber arts every day to better notice the passing of time offers you more than an arresting artwork. In fact, a creative daily practice transforms your making and is likely to become one of your favorite parts of the day. But time is complicated, so how to begin? Renowned tapestry weaver Tommye McClure Scanlin answers that question for all makers who love working with fabric, fibers, and textiles. Well known for her tapestry diaries, she explores with you how to capture your own time in your artwork. Enjoy photos of their "time capsule" pieces from over 25 makers, plus their experiences of the process and benefits of daily practice. Then, using Tommyes simply explained methods, begin your own personal calendar, journal, or diary. A foreword by Sarah C. Swett reminds us of the mix of adrenaline and power thats available to fiber crafters who truly realize that everything they make is an attempt to capture time.
