The UC Davis Design Museum in California opens its 2026–27 season with Connecting Threads (together): Textile Works by Lynn Setterington, 29 Sept through 20 Nov. This is the exhibition that was at the Fashion & Textile Museum in London and has been touring.

They say:

"Collaboration is at the heart of textile making and this idea is explored in a display of work by UK based artist Setterington. Through textiles the artist challenges contemporary issues in society and how stitch can be used to commemorate people and communities.

Lynn Setterington is an ethnographic embroiderer who communicates with the world through stitch. she has worked with underserved communities across the globe, including the UK, India, Bangladesh, Brazil and USA. She draws on popular culture and textile history to raise awareness of societal issues. Themes range from sustainability, place, well-being and identity and belonging."

We've had a good review of Connecting Threads in Surface Design Journal by writer and stitcher Faith Hagenhofer. One of her comments is that we don't have a bibliography in the book. Is that something that readers would find helpful? Do comment and let us know as we're doing reprints all the time and it's great to have feedback.
