Vintage Notions: An Inspirational Guide to Needlework, Cooking, Sewing, Fashion and Fun
What a completely charming book! Filled with projects and ideas from long ago that are still perfect for today, it's illustrated in a style that's right up my alley! I can't wait to break out my embroidery thread and make something! --Mary Engelbreit, Internationally recognized illustratorAmy's book takes a soulful look at the beautiful connections we have with our sewing and crafting sisters of the past. This book inspires all of us to discover our own personal heritage by sharing stories between mothers, daughters, grandmothers and friends. It celebrates what women can create with their own two hands and what we can achieve together. --Amy Butler, Industry-leading fabric designerAs a collector of vintage home-making magazines and ephemera (a tradition started by my grandmother), I've often thought there should be some way to share all that wonderful information that influenced our grandmothers and mothers, and you have done just that -- most brilliantly! I found the story of Mary Brooks Picken fascinating, and the content, design and organization of the book so charming. --Cindy Gorder, Editor & Designer for Decorating Digest: Craft & Home Projects
