A family thread

Creativity Through Generations.

This stitched landscape has inspired generations of stitchers in our family. It has been carried through time and care of the women who came before us.

It reminds us that needlepoint is more than a project. It is what we inherit, what we learn beside one another, and what we choose to preserve.

That generational thread lives at the heart of Bookshelf Anatomy: Claudia and Hetty creating together and adding their own chapter to a family story shaped by making.
