'Under the Thimble' is a magazine created for a final major project, by graphic design students Cheryl De Winne and Kayleigh Pullinger. The purpose of the magazine is to prove the worth of what are traditionally viewed as 'women's crafts' in today's contemporary digitized design society. 'Under the Thimble' also serves as a way to get it's readers intrigued by and interested in the topic of feminism through the use of carefully selected quotes and poetry. The final product is hand bound and features perforated and hand glossed covers.

a record, a journey.
Read into it what you will,

Working without the pressure of success
Not having to be in shows with men
Having an escape from the art world in your 4 free-lance jobs
Knowing your career might pick up after you’re eighty
Being reassured that whatever kind of art you make it will be labeled feminine
Not being stuck in a tenured teaching position
Seeing your ideas live on in the work of others
Having the opportunity to choose between career and motherhood
Not having to choke on those big cigars or paint in Italian suits
Having more time to work when your mate dumps you for someone younger
Being included in revised versions of art history
Not having to undergo the embarrassment of being called a genius
Getting your picture in the art magazines wearing a gorilla suita public service message from
GUERRILLA GIRLS conscience of the art world

To be blessed
said the old woman
is to live and work
so hard
God’s love
washes right through you
like milk through a cow
To be blessed
said the dark red tulip
is to knock their eyes out
with the slug of lust
implied by
your up-ended skirt
To be blessed
said the dog
is to have a pinch
of God
inside you
and all the other
dogs can smell it

I know you are reading this poemlate, before leaving your office of the one intense yellow lamp-spot
and the darkening window in the lassitude of a building faded to
quiet long after rush-hour.
I know you are reading this poemstanding up in a bookstore far from the ocean on a grey day of
early spring, faint flakes driven across the plains' enormous spaces
around you.
I know you are reading this poem
in a room where too much has happened for you to bear where
the bedclothes lie in stagnant coils on the bed and the open valise
speaks of flight but you cannot leave yet.
I know you are reading this poem
as the underground train loses momentum and before running up
the stairs toward a new kind of love your life has never allowed.
I know you are reading this poem
by the light of the television screen where soundless images jerk
and slide while you wait for the newscast from the intifada.
I know you are reading this poemin a waiting-room of eyes met and unmeeting,
of identity with strangers
.
I know you are reading this poem by fluorescent light in the boredom and fatigue of the young who
are counted out, count themselves out, at too early an age.
I know you are reading this poem
through your failing sight, the thick lens enlarging these letters
beyond all meaning yet you read on because
even the alphabet is precious.
I know you are reading this poem
as you pace beside the stove warming milk, a crying child on your
shoulder, a book in your hand because life is short
and you too are thirsty.
I know you are reading this poem
which is not in your language guessing at some words while others
keep you reading and I want to know which words they are.
I know you are reading this poem
listening for something, torn between bitterness and hope turning
back once again to the task you cannot refuse.
I know you are reading this poem
because there is nothing else left to read there where you have
landed, stripped as you are.
