Patchwork: A Sewist's Diary

"I quilt. I make things. I love to chat with people who make things, to hear what they think about when they work and how what they make folds into their lives. Maddie Ballard learned to sew during the pandemic, and her memoir-through-projects is a thoughtful progression from basic pants to complex coats and from being part of a couple to being single again. A lovely read for anyone whose brain takes flight whenever they look at a bolt of fabric."
