By Claire Wellesley-SmithFollowing on from her textile hit Slow Stitch, author Claire Wellesley-Smith considers the importance of connection and ideas around wellbeing when using textiles for individuals and communities, including practical ideas around 'thinking-through-making', using 'resonant' materials and extending the life of pieces using traditional and non-traditional methods.
Contemporary textile artists using these themes in their work feature alongside personal work from Claire and examples from community-based textile projects. The book features some of the very best textile artists around, esteemed American fiber artists and the doyenne of textiles, Alice Kettle. Resilient fabrics that can be manipulated, stressed, withstand tension and be made anew are recommended throughout the book, as well as techniques such as layering, patching, reinforcing, re-stitching and mending, plus ideas for the inclusion of everyday materials in your work.
There's an exploration of ways to link your emotional health with your textile practice, and 'Community' suggests ways to make connections with others in your regular textile work. 'Landscape' has a range of suggestions and examples of immersing your work in the local landscape, a terrific way to find meaning in your work and a sense of place.
Finally, there is a moving account of one textile community's creative response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. The connection between wellbeing and the creation of textiles has never been stronger, and, as a leading exponent of this campaign, Claire is the perfect author to help you find more than just a finished textile at the end of a project.

Another great book by this author. It is full of love, growth and has spice. I like the concept of the story and how the issues was solved. I felt the bond and love between the MCs from the start. I will definitely read this book again.

🙌 body diversity 🙌
Format: Kindle
Body diversity for the win in this new twist on a classic vampire x human trope! A Rose For The Taking explores the arranged marriage between an under-appreciated “spinster” and a vampire magistrate stuck in her own grief. Beyond the budding romance, we are also given a piercing look into the struggle of vampire/human politics including classism, worker exploitation and policy reform. The spice was sparingly scattered throughout the book and was unfortunately almost exclusively one-sided…which continues to be my biggest pet peeve in these books. Overall, the steamy bits were effective and blended well into the storyline. No kink, mostly open door. Additionally, Trapp lovingly incorporates a realistically proportioned FMC, the grief of losing a spouse and the familial trauma of being tolerated only for what you bring to the table. Solid read and it definitely got me adding more of Trapp’s body of work to my TBR!

It was a good read.
Format: Kindle
While I did enjoy the book, it moved a little fast with little plot development. Rose started strong and then she seemed to get weaker and weaker throughout. Even the parts where she found her back bone didn’t compare to her initial anger towards her family.
Lena was a good character. A little huffier than I liked but overall well rounded. Overall, I enjoyed the book, it just wasn’t my favorite.
