Marking Time with Fabric and Thread (Calendars, Diaries, and Journals within Your Fiber Craft)

Ever since the original release of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, it’s been agreed that a creative daily practice transforms your making. But fiber artists—from knitters to weavers, quilters to embroiderers—experience making in a different way than other crafters. Here’s a guide especially for them on starting, maintaining, and enjoying a purposeful daily practice while making an arresting, very personal artwork. Well-known fiber artist Tommye McClure Scanlin (author of the bestselling Tapestry Design Basics and Beyond) breaks it down into clear, doable steps.

• Enables fiber crafters of any kind to start and successfully benefit from a personal daily practice.
• Packed with practical ideas, in text and photos, for making a personal fiber art calendar, journal, or diary.
• Dozens of prompts to ward off the largest challenge: feeling creatively “stuck.”
• Stories from more than 25 makers explain the benefits of daily practice, sharing inspiring photos of their finished "time capsule" pieces.
• Fascinating facts and history, including why we humans have the urge to mark time visually.
• Foreword by widely followed blogger and weaver Sarah Swett.
