Sinopse

Weaving Family Ties explores the surprising economic and cultural significance of home-based textile weaving. More than just a hobby, this craft has historically served as a vital source of family income, especially for women, while simultaneously preserving cultural identity.

 
The book examines how weaving skills were passed down through generations, shaping gender roles and fostering social cohesion within families. It reveals that home weaving, often overlooked, has been a powerful force for economic empowerment and sustainable development.

 
This book progresses from the historical roots of home weaving, detailing tools and techniques, to an analysis of its economic impact using case studies and data. It then delves into the social dynamics within weaving families before concluding with the challenges of industrialization and contemporary initiatives supporting this tradition.

 
By combining economic analysis with ethnographic insights, Weaving Family Ties offers a realistic view of the strengths and potential of this artisanal skill, making it valuable for those interested in the intersection of economics, crafts, and cultural heritage.

    A Wild Path is author Douglas Wood's highly anticipated followup to the critically acclaimed memoir Deep Woods, Wild Waters. He again leads listeners along a meditative path through a wilderness of many dimensions—from the lakes and islands of his beloved Canoe Country to rugged ocean coasts to a mountain chasm, from camping on the Canadian Shield to listening to the soft strains of Beethoven in the pines, and from the pain of childhood wounds to appreciation for a life rich with nature. 
     
     
     
    With the generosity and compassion of a good wilderness guide, Douglas Wood welcomes listeners to accompany him as he navigates his life-path from struggling student and "worst reader in the class" to prolific writer and bestselling author. He offers courage and hope to those who feel different or left behind, and he shares how he found, through the counsel of rocks, trees, and waters, his own way toward joy and wonder and an unshakable sense of belonging. 
     
     
     
    Exploring the meanings of myriad outdoor experiences, Wood seeks to understand the importance and existence of beauty, the emotional poignancy of a wilderness sunset, and the realization of dreams, while also honoring his outdoor and literary mentors, including Sigurd Olson and Aldo Leopold.

    Quilters inevitably have short lengths of full fabric widths as well as smaller leftover pieces from creating countless projects. The beauty is those scrap pieces can be tamed for re-use! Author, SusanClaire Mayfield has created an organizational model for that quilting fabric that she shares in her book Quilter's Scrap Pantry: The Grab-and-Go Approach to Organizing Your Scraps and Making Beautiful Quilts. SusanClaire's current students have found that scraps suddenly become so much more tempting to work with after they have set up what she calls her "Leftovers Pantry." When scraps are intentionally organized and stored, they no longer find themselves digging through piles of mismatched yardage. Once stocked, they can easily create the quilt blocks described in this book such as 4-patches, 9-patches, rectangles, half-square triangles, Flying Geese and Snowballs. SusanClaire walks quilters through setting up a pantry, piece by piece, and what to do with larger fabric yardage stacks. As a bonus, she links her organizational content to her YouTube videos for each section and includes additional tips for thrifty quilting. It's scrap organization for patchwork gratification!
