This book is a wonderful testimony to an amazing accomplishment

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

the amazing journey of The Red Dress between the covers of the book

It was so hard to capture the amazing journey of The Red Dress between the covers of the book but it is a triumph. The title says so much this is about listening and telling; about capturing the stories and celebrating the contributions

Amazing embroidery project

I have followed the red dress project over the last few years. It is an inspirational idea that has been executed with such thought and has led to other community projects. The book does not disappoint. Beautiful photos, informative text, sustainable printing and packaging. Well done Quickthorn for producing such a beautiful book.
