Quotes by Clare Hunter  (?)

“Sewing is a way to mark our existence on cloth: patterning our place in the world, voicing our identity, sharing something of ourselves with others and leaving the indelible evidence of our presence in stitches held fast by our touch.”
Clare Hunter, Threads of Life: A History of the World Through the Eye of a Needle

“Back then, needlework had power and its embroiderers had value. Back then, sewing mattered.”
Clare Hunter, Threads of Life: A History of the World Through the Eye of a Needle

“For no matter where we were born or where we grew up, for most of us there are other places, ancestral lands, that somehow still resonate deep in our unconscious.”
Clare Hunter, Threads of Life: A History of the World Through the Eye of a Needle
