Package Front Quilt of Belonging
Canada is home to immigrants from every nation in the world. Quilting artist Esther Bryan wanted to celebrate this fact, to promote a sense of greater belonging among these diverse groups. A quilt would be a collaborative, community-based project to celebrate cultural diversity. Each cultural group contributed one 11-inch square pieced into a giant quilt named the Quilt of Belonging. The quilt is approximately 120 feet long by 10 feet high (36 m by 3.5 m). It consists of 263 squares representing 71 Aboriginal groups and 192 immigrant nationalities found in Canada. The quilt includes fabric that has been appliqued, beaded, cross-stitched, embroidered, and hand-woven. The many cultural decorations include:
  • Abalone shells
  • Lithuanian amber
  • Bobbin lace
  • A brooch from Poland
  • English wool
  • Kente cloth from Ghana
  • Porcupine quills, rabbit fur, sealskin, and smoked caribou hide
  • 200-year-old German linen
  • Worry dolls from Guatemala
The Quilt of Belonging will be exhibited in spring 2005 with an opening show at Canada's Museum of Civilization and then will become part of a traveling exhibit of stitches and stories that visits museums and community centers throughout Canada and beyond.
Product Details: Softcover, 9" x 11", 296 pages.

Package Front Amy Butler's Midwest Modern
A complete lifestyle book, encompassing fashion, interiors, and gardens. Attention, design and style mavens! There's a lot more to America than just the east and west coasts. Today, innovative American design-in clothing, home decor, even gardening-is emerging from the Midwest. So lay your bicoastal biases aside, and let Amy Butler show you what's happening in the heartland. Helping her fans jumpstart their own creative spark is Butler's fashion credo, and her approach has won her a huge following. Her "Mid Mod" philosophy-neither homespun nor haute couture-is as up to the minute as it is firmly rooted in Midwest tradition. Emphasizing simplicity and integrity of craft, Butler is passionate about recycling materials, reinventing vintage looks, and taking joy in the homemade. Her approach-drawing its inspiration from the natural world and the lives of real people-is organic in every sense of the word. Amy Butler's Midwest Modern brings the many aspects of its author's vision into focus, from re-imagining the home as a retreat for relaxation and dreaming, to picturing the body as a canvas for creating one's personal style, to looking to nature as a "sketchbook" for design ideas. Vibrantly illustrated, the book underscores design's practical side, with information on budgeting money and time, a shopping resources list, and "how-to" projects in every chapter.
Product Details: Hardcover, 9 1/2" x 10 1/4", 124 pages.

Package Front Dirty Wow Wow
by Cheryl and Jeffery Katz
It's rare to find a child whose very first best friend wasn't a fuzzy teddy bear or downy blanket. Whether clutched securely in little arms each night or dragged gamely through the playground each day, these fiercely loved companions universally ease the uncertainties and loneliness of childhood. DIRTY WOW WOW AND OTHER LOVE STORIES celebrates the lives of fifty transitional love objects: a sweetly poignant collection of stuffies, blankies, lovies, and dolls who inspired and comforted their owners. Bundles of love and warmth fashioned from fluff and fur, these cherished friends have a lifetime of stories sewn up in their tattered bodies--a trip to Paris smushed in a suitcase, a secret hiding spot behind the family liquor cabinet, an interminable wait in the lost-and-found bin before a joyous reunion at home. With stunning photographs that reveal the personalities within, this thoughtful tribute is at once funny and oddly soothing-like a certain shabby buddy who's tucked away but never forgotten.
Product Details: Hardcover, 6" x 8", 110 pages.
