Book Description
GLORIOUS INSPIRATION, a design sourcebook, is a natural extension of the author's profoundly held conviction that anyone can create their own knitting and needlepoint designs. Here, Kaffe has chosen hundreds of objects and motifs from the decorative arts and the world of nature and grouped them into themes to inspire the artist in all of us. There are sections on Shells and Minerals, Small Creatures Wild Animals, Domestic Animals, Fruit and Foliage and Beautiful Blooms and the pieces illustrated range from paintings and ceramics to textiles and mosaics. By showing us what inspires him, Kaffe opens the door to anyone who would like to create and stitch unique designs. Kaffe's own interpretations of some of the 300 painted, beaded, embroidered or woven sources are included in the book to demonstrate his personal vision of the world around us and show how any reader can use the motifs and patterns to create their own special designs.

Book Description
One dedicated woman...giving voice to the suffering of many Born to an unavailable mother and an abusive father, Dorothea Dix longs simply to protect and care for her younger brothers, Charles and Joseph. But at just fourteen, she is separated from them and sent to live with relatives to be raised properly. Lonely and uncertain, Dorothea discovers that she does not possess the ability to accept the social expectations imposed on her gender and she desires to accomplish something more than finding a suitable mate. Yearning to fulfill her God-given purpose, Dorothea finds she has a gift for teaching and writing. Her pupils become a kind of family, hearts to nurture, but long bouts of illness end her teaching and Dorothea is adrift again. It’s an unexpected visit to a prison housing the mentally ill that ignites an unending fire in Dorothea’s heart—and sets her on a journey that will take her across the nation, into the halls of the Capitol, befriending presidents and lawmakers, always fighting to relieve the suffering of what Scripture deems, the least of these. In bringing nineteenth-century, historical reformer Dorothea Dix to life, author Jane Kirkpatrick combines historical accuracy with the gripping narrative of a woman who recognized suffering when others turned away, and the call she heeded to change the world.
