sometimes i come across things that i wish i could tattoo on myself or cross stitch onto a sampler or atleast remember to write onto a post-it that i put in my wallet.

this is one of those things, from women and craft (virago, 1987), by Faith Gillespie:

“Our turning to craftwork is a refusal. We may not all see ourselves this way, but we are working from a position of dissent. And that is a political position.”

rock.
