You’re Never Too Old To Quilt
There is powerful evidence, too powerful to ignore, that quilting is a desirable and valuable activity to health, wellbeing and maintenance of social ties and independence as we age. Neurological research has found vital brain exercise is involved in making a quilt. Specialists in ageing commend quilting's benefits for brain health and its restorative benefits for social and emotional health and wellbeing. They well know the physical benefits of quilting to the Over 65s.Well, research is all fine, and it's good to have proof of what quilters have known for many years. However, try as we might we can't control the effects of age on our body. For some of us, physical ageing can be a challenge, if not a barrier, to continuing to quilt. As we grow older, hand quilting and machine quilting become difficult as our fingers, hands, shoulders and backs stiffen or become painful through arthritis. Age affects our ability to hold and use quilting tools and manipulate the weight of large quilts. We dread the time when we can no longer enjoy our well loved pastime.In "You're Never Too Old To Quilt", Christine Sutton presents a guide for all who, despite the painful effects of ageing, struggle to keep quilting, and for those who want to learn to quilt, but because of similar physical challenges have been hesitant to try.Based on "Quilt-As-You-Go" methods, Chris identifies tools and techniques to keep us quilting despite our aches and pains, making quilting easier for those struggling to meet the challenges of ageing and disability. Whether you are old hand, or coming to quilting for the first time, there is much in this book to foster the love and joy of patchwork and quilting and encourage quilters to keep on doing what they love.

Spinning Fates and the Song of the Loom
Textile imagery is pervasive in classical literature. An awareness of the craft and technology of weaving and spinning, of the production and consumption of clothing items, and of the social and religious significance of garments is key to the appreciation of how textile and cloth metaphors work as literary devices, their suitability to conceptualize human activities and represent cosmic realities, and their potential to evoke symbolic associations and generic expectations. Spanning mainly Greek and Latin poetic genres, yet encompassing comparative evidence from other Indo-European languages and literature, these 18 chapters draw a various yet consistent picture of the literary exploitation of the imagery, concepts and symbolism of ancient textiles and clothing. Topics include refreshing readings of tragic instances of deadly peploi and fatal fabrics situate them within a Near Eastern tradition of curse as garment, explore female agency in the narrative of their production, and argue for broader symbolic implications of textile-making within the sphere of natural wealth The concepts and technological principles of ancient weaving emerge as cognitive patterns that, by means of analogy rather than metaphor, are reflected in early Greek mathematic and logical thinking, and in archaic poetics. The significance of weaving technology in early philosophical conceptions of cosmic order is revived by Lucretius' account of atomic compound structure, where he makes extensive use of textile imagery, whilst clothing imagery is at the center of the sustained intertextual strategy built by Statius in his epic poem, where recurrent cloaks activate a multilayered poetic memory.

Pomo Basketmaking A Supreme Art for the Weaver

With the aid of illustrations and photographs, she gives step-by-step directions how to fashion coiled baskets and add feathers, how to make twine baskets, and how to make baby and doll baskets and canoe baskets. This edition of the book contains two pages of new color photographs of Pomo baskets provided by Santa Rosa Junior College Museum, which is currently holding an exhibit of Elsie Allen's basketry.In the first chapter, her granddaughter relates the story of Elsie Allen's unusual life. Elsie Allen, a fourth-generation weaver from the Pomo tribe of northwestern California, devoted her later years to the creation of exquisitely beautiful Pomo basketry. It was a tradition of the Pomo that when a person died, their possessions were burned or buried with them. It was heartbreaking for Elsie and her mother when the great grandmother and grandmother died, that even their most superb feather baskets were buried. Fearing nothing would be left of this age-old art, her mother courageously broke this custom and told Elsie she wanted her baskets kept available for future generations to enjoy. Learning from her mother, Elsie mastered the art of making coiled and twine baskets, how to add feathers to a coiled basket, and how to make baby and doll baskets among others. To keep the ancient art alive she started teaching basketry to those who were interested including basket weaving classes she taught at the Mendocino Art Center.

All of the motifs are inspired in some way by Chris' garden and the collages roughly follow the pattern of the seasons from the first flowers in spring, through to the frosty leaves of winter. The motif designs are inspired by the colours and shapes found in nature and, while some are recognisable as specific plant species, they are not intended to be botanically accurate representations of particular plants. Alongside the more usual front-on view of flowers in full bloom, Chris has included some patterns for flowers viewed from the side, half-opened flowers, buds, seedheads, berries and fungi. There is also a large variety of foliage types from individual leaves to leafy stems, ferns and grasses. Each of the collages has a different, sometimes seasonal, theme and all of the compositions are different - there are wreaths and bouquets, some are arranged in a jug or a vase while others grow straight from the ground. The collage themes include Woodland Glade, inspired by a sun-dappled, shady forest corner with ferns and snowdrops, the Vintage Blue Bouquet collage is inspired by the shapes and soft pastel colours of Lily-of-the-valley and Scabious, and the Flower Meadow collage evokes a prairie-style meadow with ornamental grasses interspersed with tall perennial flowers. You can have fun recreating the collages that Chris has designed or you can mix and match the motifs of your favourite plants and flowers to make your own creations. There are instructions for which yarn to use to create the motifs but you can experiment with different types of yarn to create your own versions. As well as creating the beautiful crochet collages which could be mounted and framed, there are ideas for what to make from the crocheted motifs including decorative applique embellishments on clothes and homewares, as well as bookmarks and keyring charms.
