"A visually captivating, deeply informative overview. . . . An exquisite, fascinating volume."—Kirkus, starred review
"Emphasizing the spectacular visual diversity of the art form, Vogelsang-Eastwood illuminates embroidery’s global history."—Kate Mothes, Colossal

A Dutch version of the same book, published by WBooks, has the title: Atlas van de borduurkunst: Een wereldreis langs erfgoed en stijlen. It comes out on 19 February. For Amazon.nl and the Dutch version of the book, click here.
Quite a day: The book arrived on the same day that Gillian closed the doors of the 'old' TRC building along the Hogewoerd in Leiden, where the TRC has worked since September 2009. The TRC will soon, in early March, move to a beautiful urban villa just behind the Leiden railway station, along the Boerhaavelaan. A new future for the TRC, and more publications, more workshops and courses, and all sorts of textile events.
