Through the ages needlecraft has enabled us to clothe the naked and adorn the hum-drum. And today we still know the sensual delights of the perfect fabric, the pleasant whirr of a sewing machine, the thrill of the homemade. Contemporary times have freed us to sew for the love of the process, the satisfaction of creation, and the meditation aid that sewing provides. Zen and the Art of Needlecraft explores for the first time the spiritual nature of this beloved craft. Guided by the deft hands of an experienced sewer, Zen and the Art of Needlecraft is a remarkable journey to the heart of a much-practiced and much-loved hobby. Sandra Detrixhe, author of Zen and the Art of Quilting, The Everything® Quilting Book, and The Everything® Sewing Book, has been needleworking for more than twenty years and has shown her creations at county fairs and contests.
