Since I went to the meeting of my local thread and fabric study group, I’ve been looking at sewn books with renewed interest. Right away I found Michelle Wilson‘s hand-embroidered accordion book, Pennsylvania. She says
This unique artist book is a tribute to the state of my birth, created as I prepared to move across the country. My original intention was for this book to reveal some insight about travel and transitions. However, I was reminded that enlightenment is part of the experience, and will not reveal itself before the journey begins.
The folded sheet at the end of the book says
The place where I was born was named for a forest and a man,
my origin within its blood-red soil, my roots deeper than I know,
threads that bind me to this land.
