Summary:
"There are over a 1 MILLION African American women who sew, crochet and knit in the United States. The time has come for more of their wonderful and different experiences with the Needle Arts to be shared to enrich the lives of others who create. SPUN is just that, a collection of lively and heart-warming stories of women who make things through the needled arts, accounts include: Learning how to thread a sewing needle at a very young age ; Getting a beautifully crocheted baby Afghan upon the arrival of a new baby ; Being asked to knit hats that helped a college student to make money ; A woman who over 70 years ago used her sewing skills to repair jeans and make quilts for others enabled her to earn additional income for her growing family. BONUS! Spun also offers Teachers of students a refreshing read for English Arts classes. And, Crafters who are looking to read about a different perspective in the crafting world. For those who are using Spun for a group discussion we offer a few prompt questions: 1. Who do you most identify with and why? 2. In what ways do the women say their Needle Art impacted them? 3. How have the women shared their hope for the future of Needle Arts?"--Publisher.
