I am very pleased to share that my book 'Slow Stitch: Mindful and Contemplative Textile Art' was published last month by Batsford with wonderful photography by Michael Wicks. I am hugely grateful to the artists and community groups who contributed beautiful images, words and stories to this project. They are: artists Abigail Doan, Alice Fox, Pat Fuller, Lotta Helleberg, Celia Pym, Roanna Wells, Hannah Lamb, Kate Bowles, Christine Mauersberger, Mandy Pattullo, Judy Martin and Roz Hawker, The Manitoulin Circle, Naye Subah, Parkside Creative Threads and Hive community projects, and stitchers from my community education classes for the Workers' Educational Association, Cath, Pat, Sue, Mary and Vicki. It has been such a pleasure working with all of you.

I have one copy to give away (and will post worldwide), if you are interested in receiving one please leave a comment on this post and I'll draw a winner on Sunday (11th October).

Update:: Thank you to all who commented on this post and for all your kind words. Congratulations Tess Hardy, please email me with your address and I'll pop it in the post.
