  1. Bayeux Mania!

    Books are just one of the many ways to interpret and record history. The 11th-century Bayeux tapestry, is going on display to the public today in the UK. The tapestry has more than 220 feet of embroidery detailing the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England in 1066. And the public is loving it.

    British Museum Opens Bayeux Tapestry Exhibition

    Inside the exhibition on Thursday morning, the first visitors made their way along the tapestry, snapping photos as they went. They were all quiet until one — Cheryl Prax, 71, a retired property manager — spotted some of the nude figures in the tapestry’s borders and laughed loudly. “I love quirky historical things like that,” Prax said afterward.

    (And what would this type of storytelling look like with more modern topics? Artist Edith Pritchett drew a modern-day version depicting “today’s battles with online trolls, social media addiction, the manosphere, AI agents” and more: The trollers v the scrollers: Edith Pritchett’s Bayeux tapestry for the modern age)

    Want to see the tapestry in person but can’t get tickets to see the original? You still have options!

    Where to See the World’s Bayeux Tapestry Replicas

    Here are links to just some of the animalspeople, and other items depicted (the astronomical object included, and some less safe for work items) in the tapestry. And if you can’t make it in person, check out this high-res digital version from the Bayeux MuseumExplore the Bayeux Tapestry online.

    Fair warning, though, many of the main websites linked to the tapestry are slooooow today. Because history is cool, and Bayeux Mania is real!

    Decades ago, I used to get a Blueberry Green tea from Trader Joe's that I loved. This one from Harney and Sons is a decent enough substitute.

  7. Day 8 #SciArtSeptember: ruby. My uterus #embroidery, Bleeding Vessel (2022), has some ruby elements in the beading. #SciArt

  8. Using #Inkscape to plan #embroidery because why not.
    Also using shape builder templates off label, as pre-defined grids. You can add an axonometric grid doing the same (File>Document properties>Grids>Axonometric grid), but with more motions.
    If you are here for embroidery part, the plan is to backstitch, with each branch consisting of two stitches. I'll have to draw this on my fabric as I'm famously not good at keeping stitches length even. I consider it charming for contours of rounded stuff, and useful in the corners, but not so much for such geometric designs.

  19. Sharing is caring:
    Unsere Nachbar*innen von Gleis D haben uns angefragt, ob wir nicht ein paar Textilien für die Ehrenamtlichen besticken können, also erst einmal die Datei dafür erstellt. Und dabei noch das alte @freifunkh Stickprojekt gefunden. Was natürlich auch nicht fehlen darf für unsere #Glasfaser Fraktion: #SpliceGirls #Patches! Und unsere #Sticker sind jetzt im handlichen Einzelformat, statt auf A4-Bogen.
    Auch Ideen? Einfach vorbei kommen!

    #PastAndFuture Craft Exchange

    506 Main St #18, Westbrook, ME 04092, USA

    Cost: $35

    About the event

    "Did you get an embroidery kit as a gift? No idea how to start the thing, but you’d like to? Did you buy a cute embroidery kit and are a little trepidatious about starting it? Maybe your aunt taught you a little about embroidery when you were 10, but now you are 40 and the stitches didn’t just come back to you? Or maybe you have seen a cute embroidery kit at Past and Future Crafts that you would LOVE to buy, but you have no idea how to get started?

    And then you see that all the 'Learn embroidery classes' require you to buy their kit and materials?

    Never fear! Tree Heckler is here to help! Dig that thing out of the closet, the junk drawer, or wherever you stashed it. Bring it to this class!

    This class is for learning freestyle, crewel work, or cross stitch embroidery ONLY.…"

  23. I've just learned that Havering Museum, Romford is holding an exhibition of the phenomenal art and craft of my late aunt Wendy Pidgeon until 25 April. Doesn't seem to be listed on the Havering Museum website - details came from Romford Embroiderers, which Wendy helped establish.

  24. I'm happy like a small child to have found these #treasures at our international #embroidery festival! So great for my #BiodiversityShrines!

    Even more important are the talks: With an author of embroidery books who sold these "scraps", and the employee of the #naturepark was just as enthusiastic as I was and asked me if I would like to join her in organising children's courses with #handicrafts on #biodiversity. Oh yesss! 🥰

  26. Am I allowed to say I do fine #embroidery and am working on a series of dragonflies in Pride colors and using the imagery to make stickers to sell and donate the profits to queer youth charities? #mutualaid #homelessartist #PrideDragonfly

  27. For today’s #Photomonday I’d like to share an image of a #pincushion with you. It’s already my second one of this style and I’ll use it for my #embroidery needles.

    This cushion has just a flat underside, whereas my first one has a rubber band, so I can wear it around my wrist.

    And I LOVE that #lemon fabric.
