Threads of Treasure - Embroidery Book - Sara Barnes - Schiffer Publishing

How to make, mend, and find meaning through thread

In a world that's always pushing you to produce more, post more, sell more – this book is a quiet reminder that crafting is about so much more than output.

Threads of Treasure by Sara Barnes is an embroidery book with a different kind of energy. It's warm, community-driven, and genuinely inspiring. Not a technical manual – more like a conversation with 14 creative stitchers who remind you why you picked up a needle in the first place.

The three hands-on projects are beautifully personal – you get to choose what matters to you and stitch around that. Whether it's a childhood trinket, a well-loved garment, or just a small everyday moment worth remembering. 💛

What's inside:

• Interviews with 14 creative stitchers – artists, makers & business owners

• Real photos of their work and stories behind it

• 3 step-by-step projects, fully personalised to your own life

  • Treasure & display a meaningful object

  • Honour a worn and well-loved piece of clothing

  • Capture a small everyday moment in thread

• 168 pages | 350+ color images

For anyone who embroiders – or wants to start – and needs a reminder that slow crafting is the good kind. 🤍
