#embroidery — Public Fediverse posts

I don't remember exactly when I started this, probably high school. Anyway, 20+ years later it's finally done. I'd finished off the crosses and started the backstitching a couple years ago but had dropped it again.

- Crosses with 3 strands on 14-count is too chonky for my taste. (not helped by teenage me stitching one at a time instead of by rows.)
- The outlining was so tedious and some of it isn't contrasting enough to be visible at all

Day 15 #SciArtSeptember: honeycomb. This detail of my #SciArt #embroidery, deep dilation (2025) features a honeycomb-like net to represent the stent in my iliac vein.

I started stitching these cushion covers in May 2018, well "started again" would be more accurate – I'd done some of the Celtic knot one about 30 or so years ago but decided to abandon that & start again completely. That one (left in the photos) came from a book called "Celtic Needlepoint" by Alice Starmore, and I designed the other one to complement it. I finished the embroidery some time in 2019 and then bought materials to turn them into cushions and couldn't work out how to start to make that actually happen.

And today my friend Nicola very kindly made them into cushions for me! :D

I do still need to buy new cushion pads, as I bought the wrong size way back when, but they are still usable from now :)

Day 13 #SciArtSeptember: diamond. This #SciArt #embroidery, push, pull, & tingle (2018) features a diamond shape to show the tension in my paresthesiac hands.

It’s #WorldSepsisDay. Here’s my liver #embroidery, tethered by fluid & ligaments (2023), with a close up of the beaded strictures in my biliary ducts & occasional liver abscesses that have hospitalized me with septicaemia multiple times. #SciArt #PSC

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

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 animals, people, 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 Museum: Explore 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!

"Garden Variety"
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.

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

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.

#WIPWednesday • Still working on this tiny Crab Nebula with so many colours in it! I’ve lost track of how many colours I’ve used in this entire piece but it’s at least twenty or so. #SciArt #embroidery
