Welcome to PieceWork® Magazine!
|
|
PieceWork celebrates and expresses historic
and ethnic fabric-related handwork in stories and selected projects
on:
- quilting
- knitting
- crochet
- embroidery
- cross-stitch
- basketry
- beadwork
- needlepoint
- lace making
- dyeing
- other traditional
crafts.
From early Colonial samplers to Japanese sashiko
quilts to beaded Athapaskan dancing boots, handwork's history
in human history. The clothes that warm us, the linens that
adorn our homes, the finery that lifts our spirits—these
works have come from hands that tell us who we have been and
who we are. And using our hands to carry on handwork that reflects
our history and culture is rhythmic and sustaining. |
