Description: "Palestinian tatreez embroidery is a centuries-old folk art, traditionally passed from mother to daughter over a cup of tea...Traditionally, Palestinian women created various crafts, predominantly embroidery, that told the stories of their lives. Today, personal narratives of the embroiderers are being lost due to our culture's increasing aesthetic fixation and commercial appropriation of the art."--tatreezandtea.com (08.15.18)
Notes: "Embroidery, storytelling and patterns by Feryal Abbasi-Ghnaim."--Title page verso.
