February is also National Embroidery Month, and we’re excited to show you some cool items we have in the Special Collections. The first one is a hand-embroidered canvas book made by Candace Hicks who collects coincidences from the books she reads and gathers them in her artists’ books and installations.
Hicks created a variant series of hand-embroidered books, copying the form and design of dime-store "composition" books. In this volume, Hicks kept a record of coincidences in the books she was reading and noted every time the word “coincidence” occurred.

Emilie turned back to Anderson. “What I don’t understand, Anderson, is-”
Dahlia couldn’t hear the next part of the sentence. It was too early for the train whistle to blow, but there it was. Or, no, it was higher than the train whistle. She wanted to ask Emilie and Anderson whether they heard it, but they were too engaged in their conversation. Dahlia didn’t want to interrupt.

From my zine "By Thy Shape" about beast-men, shape-shifters and queer monsters
The text is from Carmilla by J. S. Lefanu
Dearest, your little heart is wounded; think me not cruel because I obey the irresistible law of my strength and weakness; if your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours. I live in your warm life, and you shall die -- die, sweetly die -- into mine.
Sad to report that I fell asleep anyway. Marisa drove through the whole night. She’s sleeping now. But only because I practically begged her to. Otherwise she probably would have kept driving until she passed out and drove us off a cliff.
