  1. Giving away for free the business idea. For the better of humanity.
    Behold - baseball cap with the two front panels made fully from vercro loop fabric. Not some small square patch, but whole front. Or even full cap. Might be also valid idea.
    To put colorful, meaningful, or silly, or depending on your mood, embroidered Velcro patches whenever you want.
    I have checked, no such caps are being sold on the internet anywhere.
    Just send me such a cap when you are running a big velcro cap and velcro patch business 😏

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

  3. 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.

    A nice #embroidery #floss winder that uses an enclosed gear train to wind your #bobbins much faster, plus makes it easier to get a good winding by holding the bobbin for smooth use.

  19. "Promise"
    Teableau for 02/05/26

    I had the cup, but no saucer for it. I searched for a long time in thrift stores, yard sales, & antique shops until I found this saucer. I knew it wasn't an exact match, but I believed it showed promise.

  20. #ArtAdventCalendar In my childhood, I dreamed of having a cute, small and real dragon in our garden. I imagined dragons to be green (and did I say cute?). For my first bigger embroidery I tried to paint with the needle. Even adults could use dragon power!

  21. I finally got around to changing the raccoon patch's design just a little bit to make it easier for me to add iron-on and hook fastener backings. And now they're available on Etsy! 🦝 pantherapalm.etsy.com/listing/

  22. Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·

    St. Rose of Lima

    She was born Isabel Flores de Oliva (April 20, 1586-August 24, 1617). She was a member of the Third Order of St. Dominic in Lima, Peru, Spanish Empire. She was known for her life of severe penance & her care of the poor of the city through her own private efforts.

    Rose of Lima was born to a noble family & is the patroness saint of embroidery, gardening, cultivation of blooming flowers, florists, embroiderers, sewing lace, gardeners, people ridiculed or misunderstood for their piety, the resolution of family quarrels, against vanity, & the indigenous peoples of the Americas. She was the 1st person born in the Americas to be canonized as a saint.

    As a saint, Rose of Lima has been designated as a co-patroness of the Philippines, along with Pudentiana. Both saints were moved to Second-class patronage in September 1942 by Pope Pius XII. But Rose remains the main patroness of Peru & the local people of Latin America. Her image was formerly featured on the highest denomination banknote of Peru.

    Her nickname “Rose” comes from a story in her infancy: a servant claimed to have seen her face change into a rose. In 1597, Isabel was confirmed by the Archbishop of Lima, Toribio de Mogrovejo, who was also declared a saint. She then formally changed her name to Rose (Rosa in Spanish) at that time.

    When she was a young girl, she copied Catherine of Siena. She started praying 3x a week & performed severe penances in secret. She was admired for her beauty. She cut off her hair & rubbed peppers on her face, to distract from her beauty. She was upset that men were starting to notice her, & not for her spirituality. She turned away all of her suitors. Her family wasn’t having any of that.

    Much to her parents’ chigrin, Rose spent a LOT of time thinking about the Blessed Sacrament, which she received daily. This is rare, & odd, for the time. She wanted to take a vow of virginity. But her parents didn’t want that! Out of frustration, her dad gave her a room to herself at the family home.

    In addition to fasting, she permanently abstained from eating meat. She helped the sick & hungry around her community. She would bring them to the room, her dad built, to take care of the sick. To help her family financially, Rose would sell fine needlework she made. She would also take flowers to the market to sell as well.

    To help the poor, she would make & sell lace & embroidery. This was in addition to all the prayer & she did penance in a small grotto she’d built. She was otherwise a recluse. She only left her room to go to church.

    She attracted the attention of the friars of the Dominican Order. She wanted to become a nun. But her dad wasn’t hearing any of that noise. So instead, she entered the Third Order of St. Dominic, while she was living in her parents’ home.

    When she was 20, she started wearing the habit of a tertiary & took a vow of perpetual virginity. A tertiary is a lay member of a religious order’s Third Order, who lives in the secular (worldly) world while they strive for Christian perfection by following the spiritual way of life associated with that particular order. The First Order is the clergy, the Second Order is the religious women in the community (official nuns).

    She allowed herself only 2 hours a night of sleep, at most, so she could have more time to devote to prayer. She also wore a heavy metal crown made of silver, that had small spikes on the inside. This was to imitate the Crown of Thorns worn by Jesus.

    For 11 years, she lived like this. Throughout this time, there would be periods of ecstasy. She passed away on August 24, 1617, at the age of 31. She had been battling a long illness. It’s said that she prophesied her death date.

    Her funeral was held in the cathedral. It was attended by all the public authorities of Lima. August 23 is her feast day. It’s August 30th in the Traditional calendar.

    Rose was beatified by Pope Clement IX on May 10, 1667. She was canonized on April 12, 1671 by Pope Clement I. She was the first Catholic in the Americas to be officially declared a saint.

    Her shine is inside of the convent of St. Dominic in Lima. The Catholic Church says that many miracles happened after her death: she cured a leper; & at the time of her death, the city of Lima smelled like roses; roses started falling from the sky.

    Rose’s skull, surmounted with a crown of roses, is on public display at the Basilica in Lima, Peru.

  23. Leuk borduurwerkje gemaakt. Een oud patroon uit een tijdschrift via marktplaats, stof van de weggeefwinkel, restjes garen van anderen gekregen of overgekocht.

  24. 1/5 A new art book is ready. I don't know why I craft them nor how to explain what I do. It's an intuitive way of working with colours, textures, mixed media and collage, for seeing, touching, and more. A very #meditative work.

    This one was the attempt to find something beautiful in our maize #monocultures that I detest.
    Just browse my book here.

  25. I almost bought some gorgeous and huge Ukrainian jewellery made from woven rocailles, which I don't have the opportunity to wear. So I went back to hoarding colours at our Festival of Wool and Yarn. Again, I couldn't resist the vintage bobbins. More in the AltText.
    Are there more people who hoard colours against grey realities? 😎 🌈

  29. And again I look at my collection of vintage #bobbins for #inspiration. I have an idea of a "book scroll" made of very thin fabric. Then I could sew on little "stuff", textile collages with intuitive embroidery. Small, handy portions for the Sunday animation in our cultural heritage centre for a larger art work.

    In this heat today, the idea is now slowly simmering in my brain until it is cooked. 🤣

  30. 🧵 1/3 As you told me before, my very first workshop with children (9 yrs old) in our heritage centre was perfect. It was such a joy to experience what most adults suppress: #enthusiasm, #curiosity, #passion to #experiment, thirst for #learning, and #spontaneity. I learnt at least as much from the children as they learnt from us.
    My fear of having to keep an eye on everything was unfounded.
