"Traditional embroidery and textile arts are enjoying a renaissance as we rediscover stitching techniques once popular during our grandmothers' times. Embroidery, needlework, appliqué and quilting are au courant in illustration, fine art and craft. Stitch-illo highlights the many sides of this resurgence: the textural, labour-intensive works of textile artist who tell stories through their work; illustrators who eschew digital tools and are turning to needle, thread and fabric as a means to communicate; and creative entrepreneurs employing stitching and needlework to build fulfilling businesses. ... The [forty-six alphabetically-arranged] artists profiled within Stitch-illo honour their own histories and cultures while layering upon them"--Author's introduction, page 7
