With photographs taken by the highly-regarded Croydon Studios and Joanna Caird, Stitch won the Lifestyle and Contemporary Culture Category at the Montana New Zealand Book Awards in 2007. Stitch, which showcases 60 of the best fibre and textile artists currently practising in New Zealand, covers a wide range of textile crafts, from finely detailed lace and woven beading to flax weaving and full-scale fabric art in public places. At various times a spinner, weaver, dyer and embroiderer, Ann always has a quilt on the go and has taken up her knitting needles again now she’s a grandmother. She loves to shop for fabric and fibre - with plenty of coffee breaks – and to fossick around in op shops. She currently contributes to The New Zealand Listener, NZ House & Garden, The Dominion Post, and NZ Quilter. Ann Packer, author of Stitch and Crafty Girl’s Road Trip: New Zealand’s Best Craft Places Plus 10 Craft Projects, is a Wellington freelance journalist with a strong interest in craft. ![]()
