I learned to crochet just so I could make these dollies, and it was totally worth it. The patterns and instructions here are very clear and versatile and the critters are adorable. I'm so grateful this book found its way into my life, I will be making all of these creatures and enjoying every minute of it. ~ Reviewed by Arabella Peterson

Hunter argues quite effectively that needlework is an ancient art whose meaning goes far beyond embellishment or mere ornamentation. Women have long used stitchery - more readily accessible, despite education or poverty - to effectively express their opinions, their dreams and the condition of their lives. Using a myriad of fascinating examples, Threads of Life shows the powerful ways that stitchery has influenced world history, providing a narrative for tradition, family memories, community identity and political protest. Understanding the true significance of hand sewn art can only serve to improve our world view of the women who courageously and patiently created them. This is a must read history sure to impress with surprise and discovery. ~ Reviewed by Nancy Scheemaker

A fascinating book about tiny things such as an ice cream sundae, Chanel handbags, a tiny Windsor chair and, best of all, tiny cell phones. Almost any object you can think of may be rendered as a tiny object in this book. The book is organized into sections which include Itty-Bitty Flora, Diminutive Wildlife, and Wee Objects. Wonderful photographs, interviews with other collectors and even a tiny book also contribute to giant-sized pleasure. ~ Reviewed by Sarah Knight

We all know at least one serious knitter but would you buy that person a book of patterns? Too risky. This book is perfect. A wonderful collection of photos dating from the 1860s to the 1960s of all kinds of people in the act of knitting. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds
