Our Books
We've been writing books together for over 20 years, and each one is a deep dive into techniques we're genuinely obsessed with. From Japanese heritage stitching (sashiko, boro, kogin-zashi) to freeform quilting and comprehensive crochet education, these aren't just instruction manuals—they're invitations to embrace imperfection, use what you have, and find joy in the making process. Whether you're picking up a needle for the first time or you've been stitching for decades, we wrote these books for you. No gatekeeping, no intimidation, just clear instruction and encouragement to follow your own creative chaos.
