@erutterwriter Congratulations Esther. The cover is gorgeous. Will order it immediately ❤️

@WhitneyRakich Thank you Whitney for your kind words.

I am so in love with #ThreadsOfLife. Thank you for writing this beautiful book, @sewingmatters ! #NetGalley

@jambookshopuk No plans to visit as yet but when I do happy to pop in.

Just received pre-distribution copies of the lovely paperback edition of my book. It always astonished me to see my name in the cover!

@erutterwriter Lovely programme Esther. Thank you for letting me know it was on.

@agentjenny @EverDundas @Julie_Farrell_ @thebookseller Well deserved Jenny. You and your team are so fantastic!

Absolutely thrilled to be included in this list for the first time! And in such brilliant company of folk I admire. Congratulations to @EverDundas @Julie_Farrell_ on the list too. Thank you @thebookseller

@SueHLawrence @Saltire_Society @SceptreBooks Thank you Sue for your kind words.

@Saltire_Society @sewingmatters @SceptreBooks Congratulations Clare! So well deserved

Embroidering Her Truth by @sewingmatters pub. @SceptreBooks is much more than a biography. Centring textiles & clothing as displays of wealth and power, the personal reflections on the author’s own artistic practice and experience enlivens the book. #SNBA22 #HistoryBook

@NikiCandle Dear Niki Thank you so much. I realised when I went to check on your corrections that they referred to Threads of Life and not to my last book Embroidering her Truth. I will check with the publishers if there is to be a reprint of Threads and, if so, can any corrections be made.

@NikiCandle Dear Niki,I’m just doing the corrections for the paperback. Were there any more punctuation howlers apart from those of pages 115 and 128? I’d welcome your eagle eye! Thank you.

@NikiCandle Thank you for these Niki. If there is ever a reprint they might be able to be corrected. Sadly, however much we toil, we are never perfect.

looking forward to talking about my book “Daughters of the North” and all things Mary, Queen of Scots with Clare Hunter @sewingmatters at Tidelines Book Festival @TidelinesFest this Sunday 25th September ticketsource.co.uk/harbour-arts-c… @sandstonepress

@rosehortonsmit3 I’m so glad you found it interesting Rose. Thank you.

I got this card from friends yesterday. It really made me laugh.

@estarnott Thank you Esther for such kind words. It makes the toil of writing it so worthwhile.

This is an incredible book. A history told thru fabric is so powerfully emotive. It sounds like a cliche to say the author makes it feel like you can touch the past, but there is nothing cliched about this writing. Thank you @sewingmatters

What a great conversation with @AGroundw, @DameDeniseMina at @bozzyfest yesterday and great questions from the audience. It was a pleasure to have contributed. Thanks to all.

Many thanks to @AyeWrite, @wordsmansfield, @SueHLawrence and a great Glasgow audience for the event this morning at the Mitchell Theatre. Lovely hospitality, good chat and warm reception. Who could ask for more.

@TIMOTHYJOHNART Thank you Timothy for such kind words and when I looked at your website it was lovely to know they came from such a fine artist.

Such a great read...highly recommended. Written by Clare Hunter @sewingmatters

@Tessadunlop @SceptreBooks Thank you Tessa. Such praise from a proper historian is heartwarming.

Early morning reading. What a beaut. An exquisite tapestry of a book: history, politics, memoir and wardrobe. #embroideringhertruth by @sewingmatters @SceptreBooks #maryqueenofscots
