Critics Review
“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!” * JenniferPerkins.com *
“It makes it easy to sketch, stitch, and create favorite female icons, from empowering women of today to honoring women of the past.” * Midwest Book Review *
“If you’re looking to try thread painting and stitch projects of inspiring individuals, this book is definitely for you.” * Brown Paper Bag *
