The subtitle of Heather Ross's delightful book is "and other stories of family, love, dysfunction, survival, and DIY." Illustrated with her own beautiful drawings, this book is part memoir, part how-to manual, and a total joy to read. Heather tells stories of her childhood growing up in primitive circumstances on a Vermont mountain, her forays into trying to build a creative business, and her relationships with her family, friends, and lovers. In other words, she takes us on a path through the messiness of everyday life. Her previous books, Weekend Sewing and Heather Ross Prints, focus solely on her creative endeavors as a fabric designer and artist. Here, in How to Catch a Frog, we come to know Heather as a creative, thoughtful, and adaptable person who has carved a beautiful life for herself.
