  1. Day 10 #SciArtSeptember: woad. My #SciArt #embroidery, cell map (2020), has some woad (blue/green) elements in the linen and in the stitching.

  2. 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!

    Teableau for 08/31/26

    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.

  9. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧵🪡 The nearly 70 m (230 ft) #BayeuxTapestry is an embroidered #linen cloth ending abruptly with the death of King Harold at the Battle of #Hastings, leaving scholars to wonder if a final coronation panel was lost.

    Ahead of its #London debut, organizers launched a #competition asking #children to stitch their own hopeful ending. Winning classes earn a trip to see the #artifact and visit the #battlefield.

  23. 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!

  24. I’ll never forget those eyes: At our #museum animation, a five-year-old girl watched me #embroidering - shyly from a distance. I encouraged her to come and have a closer look. As she came curiously, I let her feel my fabric: ‘Look, I’m embroidering #moss! It’s knobbly like real moss.’
    Her eyes in her happy face were the very picture of awe and curiosity about #nature and #embroidery. Her Grandpa: 'Can we come again?!' That's what many of our visitors do.

  25. If you're a #melbourne #knitter #embroidery #crochet #sewing #craft #fashiondesign person, The Embroiderers Guild is having their destash market this Saturday, ANZAC day, from 1-4 at their (large, double storey) Embroidery House, 170 Wattletree Rd, Malvern.
    There's yarn, fabric, vintage sewing boxes, and all the embroidery paraphenalia you can poke a stick at at great prices.

    There's always a queue out the front before opening. It's nuts.
    Bring cash, a bag, and gird your loins ;)

    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.…"
