  1. I made a thing. Galaga arcade marquee needlepoint, roughly life-size - 28” x 10”, 90,000 stitches. Around 100 hours of work. In-progress photos and details of how I did it here: photos.app.goo.gl/LtWotK8XCQwC... #needlepoint #retrogaming

    Oh my. Well done. That's going to be repeated. Deservedly.

  3. “A younger crowd embraced such #hobbies in 2020 when the pandemic left many with more free time. But “grandma hobbies” have persisted beyond a pandemic fad and some seem to be picking up steam in their popularity online.

    While she said she may not consider herself a #crafty person, MacTaggart, now 26, founded the #needlepoint business What’s the Stitch and runs popular social media profiles of the same name. After seeing growing interest in her content, she began to build up her business and now sells needlepoint canvases, accessories and #digital designs. The flair #MacTaggart puts into her creations is a touch of cheeky humor and, occasionally, profanity.”

  8. From blacksmithing to needlepoint, young people are embracing ‘grandma hobbies’

    LOS ANGELES -- By age 23, Emma MacTaggart was already noticing how rare her free time was — and how it was seldom screen-free. She was working long hours in investment banking and once she was finally able to log...

  13. This may be the most incredible project I've seen on YouTube this year. This video had me enthralled. I'm blown away.

  14. Some highlights from hubby's crow needlepoint piece while in-progress... I can't wait to post pics of the finished, framed work! It's so cool!

  15. So, hubby and I did splurge on each other for Solstice presents. He got a needlepoint "painting" he made for me of crows (based on a Japanese painting) framed. And while at the same shop today, I found an original map of the area we live in now from the 1870's -- that I'm having mounted in an archival frame for him. Giving #LocalBusiness our holiday shopping (the needlepoint supplies were also from a shop in #Maine). Pics will be posted soon...

  20. I am sure I am not the first to discover this technique... Loading up 8 separate needles before plunging into an hour of work.

    Turns out, the part that takes the most time is cutting, splitting and threading the floss. When you prep as much of it as possible, embroidering goes with next to no interruptions!

    I feel like I opened a door to a new world today.

  28. Hubby has taken up a new hobby -- needlepoint! He describes it as both meditative and also challenging -- like putting together a puzzle. Here are a couple of his finished pieces! Also, an excellent used book I picked up last year, which covers embroidery stitches, patches and crocheting -- useful for #VisibleMending and fixing up some knitted and crocheted pieces!

  29. Just received this wonderful #needlepoint gift from my daughter. Need to frame it for my office wall.

  30. New to me and discovered via MetaFilter (what, y’all don’t read MetaFilter?): The Sampler Archive. From the front page: “The Sampler Archive database has been designed to share detailed information and high-resolution images of American girlhood samplers and pictorial embroideries from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.”

  31. Due to the absolute barest amount of peer pressure, I'm having my first go at needlepoint.

    But I'm also recording it all for a video, so this is probably all you'll get until it's finished.

    Believe it or not, it's going to be a bowl?

    Also turns out bargello is super fun both to do and to say. Bargello bargello bargello!

  32. I painted my second needlepoint canvas. This is Karl Marx on 13-mesh mono canvas. The full laser-eye treatment looked too busy and confusing, so I toned it down. Maybe I’ll stitch it with two glass beads. #needlepoint #fullyautomatedluxurygayspacecommunism
