Reviews

“Illustrator Frazer brings a feminist flair to embroidery in her winning debut that “honors the lifetime and work” of such feminist trailblazers as Eleanor Roosevelt, Frida Kahlo, and Harriet Tubman. … Embroiderers looking to push their creativity will be rewarded by these projects."
*Publishers Weekly*

"Tons of tips for creating hair and facial features with floss, warm-up exercises, and gorgeous large photos of the projects that help you easily mimic the techniques. Honestly, I kinda want to frame some of the pictures in this book!"
