Finding Quiet Strength

This book really does seem to encapsulate everything important about people, making and education. I absolutely love its easy-to-read format and it is chock full of gorgeous projects and photographs. Intelligent Hands has been super-informative and has inspired me to get on and use my own! I highly recommend this beautiful book.

This is an excellent book on the most important textile project of our times. The texts are engaging and interesting, and the pictures are lovely. The overall layout is gorgeous. A real treasure on my bookshelves!

Lovely book, beautifully made

Love this book wanted in hardcover and will continue to check. Its a keepsake! Amazing story about this dress and the women who helped create it!

Wonderful pictures. Great content.

An incredible accounting of a heartfelt and deeply impactful endeavor. I was captivated by the brilliance and evolution of the project, as well as the bridges being built by making space for women to come together and tell their stories. The journey is wonderful to witness and the power of what Kirstie and all who joined her have created will stay with me forever.

I really enjoyed reading the book!

Very inspiring initiative and impressive result!
It's divine work from around the world with all the hands, the vibrations, the energy and the attention put on a single dress. It makes it a witness of an era... A legacy... A piece of history in stitches...
My dear friend did a similarly initiative for me, on a much smaller scale, when I was at the hospital. She created a quilt, with women in the communities around the Island where I live on Prince Edward Island, Canada.

It's magical work to come together to create, to sew and stitch. The result can only be divine!

Amazing and humbling work with the Red dress.

It's a wonderful story and I love seeing all the places the dress has been

Amazing project. I hope the dress will tour in the U>S>

What a beautiful book. Thank you.

what an incredible and impactful project!. The original vision, the lengthy and successful execution across the globe, the positive impact it has had on so many women living in challenging circumstances, and also on so many people who have viewed the Dress......... is just astounding.
The book captures this all so well in both images and text. Well done all of you

I'm delighted! The book is just beautiful. It will be a lovely treat to dip in and out over time. A real feel good book.
I must also commend the exception service, Quickthorn resolved a difficulty with kindness and professionalism. Thank you to all concerned.

This book is a wonderful testimony to an amazing accomplishment. The creation of the red dress and how Kristi’s integrity and commitment to what it stands for is beautifully documented in this book. It affirms her commitment to women ( mostly) artisans all over the world and the power that they have in their extraordinary stitching and bonding through the red dress itself. I found it hopeful, touching and beautiful

Fascinating read and wonderful inclusive feel.
