The initial collaboration between the "acclaimed fiber artist Diedre Scherer and well known anthologist Sandra Haldeman Martz" has been well preserved in a lovely volume brimming with poems and graphic textile portraits about women of a certain age. Beautiful condition -- taut pages stayed unread, unmarked, unmolested. Slight bumping of unclipped dust jacket. See photos.

From the Publisher
Barbara Lee Smith, author of Celebrating the Stitch: Contemporary Embroidery of North America, writes in the foreword: "Just as life is built from layers of experience, Scherer builds her forms, cutting the cloth, layering it...We are dawn into the work through the eyes, and then note the years, the attitude, the humanity of these people and their surroundings. Each face is so expressive: questioning, confronting, mocking, conspiring, laughing, surviving."
This gorgeous full-color coffee table book is "a true gift and an inspiration." (Fiber Arts) THREADS OF EXPERIENCE intimately reminds us that life is full at all ages.

Store description
These volumes represent the cream of my aunt's voluminous collection, which includes signed first editions from a friend's defunct Lincoln City store, antiquarian tomes a Reed professor bequeathed decades ago, and the art & design section of downtown Portland's long-lamented NorWester Bookshop. Given spatial constraints, I've little choice but to liquidate the inventory she spent a lifetime accumulating, but my dilemma opens opportunities for the right consumer. Shop freely and enjoy in her memory!…
