Editorial Reviews

"Inspiring images of needlework, stories from talented makers and unique guidance for ways to personalize my own projects...filled me with creative inspiration and new ideas to take my thread out and revitalize my techniques."

Laurel C.

"Excels in encouraging creatives to reflect on the intersections of art, nature, and daily life. It offers a chance to reflect on the simple beauty of embroidery and its potential to enrich our everyday experiences."

Megan Adgate

"Delicious. Filled with sumptuous photographs of working textile artists' creations and interviews about not only their process but the journeys that brought them to their work, Barnes provides a profoundly engrossing, wildly inspirational textile creation manual. Putting the book down rather than gobbling the entire thing in one night was an exercise in personal self-control."

Stephanie M.

"What a delight . . . part artist interview, part artistic practice . . . A plethora of insight into business ownership and artistic accomplishments . . . Threads of Treasure helps you to sit back and enjoy the process.
