Stitches in Time

Two gay men of later years share their love of needlepoint in a fully colour illustrated volume displaying a body of original work created over the forty year span of their lives from 1977 until 2007. Using stories recounting some of their inspiration and experiences enjoyed on their extensive travels, David Evans and Nigel Quiney celebrate their lives with colour and originality in their work which is revealed as being so much more than merely decorative. A great deal of thought and interpretation have been invested in the symbology contained in many of these works which include wall hangings, panels, cushions, table tops (under glass), chair and stool coverings, spectacle cases, handbags, decorated denim jackets, hats and berets... A sequel to this volume has just been produced and converted into e:book format entitled THE WORDSTITCHER by David Evans embracing the work sewn since 2007, a book which gives equal importance to David's poetry which is featured on much of this essentially English work.
