Several years ago, writer and textile artist Krista Barmer discovered the Asian hand embroidery techniques sashiko, boro, and kantha stitching. As she immersed herself in these simple traditions, a new freedom of expression emerged. But creating with only reclaimed linen, a running stitch, and the occasional rusty object yielded more than just textile art. In mending, Krista found a gentle rhythm that invited her not to produce or perfect, but to be still. And in the stillness, poetry poured forth.The Mending Space merges Krista's passion for textiles and poetry along with her heart for tender healing and organic imperfections. There are no tidy edges here. Many are frayed and tattered. And this is where the beauty is found.There is a thread that will hold.There is a remnant that will endure.And we are the ones who mend.

'Captivates, inspires and ultimately enriches' Heather Morris, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019 As fourteen-year-old Ella begins her first day at work she steps into a world of silks, seams, scissors, pins, hems and trimmings. She is a dressmaker, but this is no ordinary sewing workshop. Hers are no ordinary clients. Ella has joined the seamstresses of Birkenau-Auschwitz, as readers may recognise it. Every dress she makes could mean the difference between life and death. And this place is all about survival. Ella seeks refuge from this reality, and from haunting memories, in her work and in the world of fashion and fabrics. She is faced with painful decisions about how far she is prepared to go to survive. Is her love of clothes and creativity nothing more than collaboration with her captors, or is it a means of staying alive? Will she fight for herself alone, or will she trust the importance of an ever-deepening friendship with Rose? One thing weaves through the colours of couture gowns and camp mud - a red ribbon, given to Ella as a symbol of hope.

This book is intended as an aid to believers in developing a daily time of morning revival with the Lord in His word. At the same time, it provides a limited review of the Thanksgiving weekend conference held in Schaumburg, Illinois, November 28—December 1, 2013. The general subject of the conference was “The Mending Ministry of John.” Through intimate contact with the Lord in His word, the believers can be constituted with life and truth and thereby equipped to prophesy in the meetings of the church unto the building up of the Body of Christ.
