Book Description
Through the ages needlecraft has enabled us to clothe the naked and adorn the hum-drum. And today we still know the sensual delights of the perfect fabric, the pleasant whirr of a sewing machine, the thrill of the homemade.
Contemporary times have freed us to sew for the love of the process, the satisfaction of creation, and the meditation aid that sewing provides. Zen and the Art of Needlecraft explores for the first time the spiritual nature of this beloved craft, detailing such subjects as:
Employing "Beginner's Mind" with every new project Zen gift giving with your creations The spiritual benefits of sewing for charity
Guided by the deft hands of an experienced sewer, Zen and the Art of Needlecraft is a remarkable journey to the heart of a much-practiced and much-loved hobby.
