  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.

  9. Not just 'Grandma Hobbies' - #DIY and #woodworking ( #GrandpaHobbies ?) are making a comeback as well!

    The Comforting Resurgence of ‘ #GrandmaHobbies

    In search of calm and community, new generations are learning centuries-old skills.

    By Kate Brennan, July 18, 2026

    Excerpt: " 'Younger generations’ appetite for hands-on activities — what the internet has dubbed 'grandma hobbies' — has reached far beyond Michigan. In North Carolina, John C. Campbell Folk School, the oldest folk school in the country, has a long waiting list for its teen program; just a few years ago, it was struggling to fill all the spots. Ely Folk School in Minnesota has also reported a post-pandemic influx of younger volunteers.

    " 'Grandma hobbies reconnect us to ourselves,' said Cal Newport, a professor of computer science at Georgetown University who writes about technology, focus and productivity. 'These activities are hard, in that they require time and concentration to master. But they also offer clear and fulfilling rewards.'

    "Mari Sanborn, the communications coordinator for the Folk School Alliance, a nonprofit that supports #FolkEducation across the United States and Canada, said learning #handicrafts offers a way to reclaim a sense of community as well as #TraditionalSkills.

    " 'It’s a way of holding onto things that might one day be lost,' she said."

  23. 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.

    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.…"

  27. #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!

    I think that nature is a better artist than me. Perhaps therefore, my jacket and trouser pockets are always full after a walk in the woods. And then I put the stuff on the table and talk to it, or it talks to me. After all that chatting, I have a new collage. 😉

  29. 'Whatever you do, it can work as social glue, become a visible political protest. But the best of all: in participating, you are no longer isolated, you became part of a group or movement. And all these tiny parts form something big enough that others can’t overlook it any more.'
