A Stitcher's Book Club discussion

Now that we are going into summer/winter, and now that Maynia is done and dusted (in awe of all of those who did it, good on you!) we thought a themed challenge of our own. And what better theme than stitching!

The rules are simple. The challenge runs for three months. We have provided prompts related to stitching. You can pick as few or as many books as you want to match the prompts (much like a SAL). Bonus points if the topics of the books are stitching related.
