<p>My name is <strong>Anna Clutterbuck-Cook</strong>. I am a writer, historian, and librarian who returned to crafting several years ago as a counterweight to myreading and writing life. I currently cross stitch, embroider, sew, and quilt. I founded Persistent Stitches in January 2018 as a way to turn the crafting work that I do as a form of self care into a more potent act of resistance to the GOP/Trump regime.</p>
<p>My ongoing crafting portfolio (and the original home of Persistent Stitches) is <a href="https://hashtagamsewing.wordpress.com/">#AmSewing</a>. My primary digital home is @<a href="https://twitter.com/feministlib">feministlib</a>. You can find my other digital footprints at <em><a href="https://thefeministlibrarian.com/">the feminist librarian</a></em>.</p>
<p>Pronouns: she/her/hers.</p>
