19.01.2022 Here in Canada - on November 11th at 11am - we honour those who have fought for our freedom and those that are serving. Remembrance Day is a national holiday. ...The symbol of Remembrance Day is the poppy. The poem "In Flanders Fields" was written during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. We're starting a new series looking at the representation of the poppy in needlework. This piece features poppies and is the work of noted embroiderer, teacher, author and art historian. You can see more of Richard's work on his website at http://www.richardbox.co.uk/ #poppies #RemembranceDay #embroidery

17.01.2022 This piece of bridal embroidery is worked with a tambour hook. It's also known as Point de Beauvais embroidery. Tambour bead embroidery is a technique with a l...ong history - going back to the 1500s in Europe. Tambour work arrived in Europe from Asia with the finest examples being imported from India, Persia (now Iran) and China.

14.01.2022 This photo shows Venetian needle lace being made on the island of Burano (located in the Venice lagoon). In the 16th century, Venetian needle lace making was pr...oduced by noblewomen in the privacy of their own homes. By the 17th century, other European nations struggled to emulate the women of Burano’s intricate designs. The lace was highly sought after. The court of King Louis XIV of France employed several Venetian lace makers to teach their skill and facilitate home manufacturing. The photo was taken at the Burano Lace Museum (Museo del Merletto) by Avital Pinnick at https://www.flickr.com//spindexr/7419158170/in/photostream/ #needlelace #InProgress

11.01.2022 When we first featured this post - many people thought these were embroidered masks. And, it's easy to see why. These sweet, hand embroidered baby bonnets are ...the work of a Latvian embroidery artist who sells her work on Etsy. The fabric is linen and the bonnet is embroidered with wool thread. Just perfect for cool days to keep babies warm and then in Summer, to keep them cool. Image courtesy of https://www.etsy.com//linen-baby-bonnet-with-embroidered-f #embroidery #babybonnets

06.01.2022 This child's embroidered organdy coat dates to ca.1910. Organdy is a plain-weave, very light, semi-transparent textile woven from cotton. It is then treated up... to three different ways for either a permanent or semi-permanent finish. This finish is what gives it its stiffness - a similar treatment to starching. Despite it's delicate look, because of its high thread count and fabric finish, it's actually a dream to embroider on. This item was for sale (now sold) at https://www.vintagetextile.co #embroidery #whitework

04.01.2022 Which one would you like to create first? Join me in late Feb-March 2021 for an online Embroidery and Applique workshop where you will learn simple techniques t...o get a maximum effect. Yumi Olgeta:Crafting a More Inclusive Democracy is a unique collaboration between myself, the Australian South Sea Islanders Port Jackson and the Napen Napen Cultural women of Vanuatu. Along with 40 participants so far you are invited to join us in a stitching workshop where you can listen and ask questions of an Elder about Australia's Slave Trade history called Blackbirding. Australian South Sea Islanders want further recognition as a distinct cultural group in Australia and we can support this aim by contributing to our first project - the ASSI Commemorative Quilt that will be donated to the Museum of Australian Democracy @moad.aus @oldparliamenthouse in Canberra. Donation is optional so you can come along and enjoy the experience of learning and stitching as we take in the truth about Australia's history. This project is the first of many so by joining in this can facilitate your own decolonisation process. From My experience it can bring unexpected joy and connection. For $30 you will receive an embroidery kit with materials from @patchnquilt and postage to send it to you, a 22 page Instruction booklet pdf designed by @threebranchesdesign and the online workshop. There will also be access to ongoing tutorials on the ASSIPJ Facebook Page and finished work will be shown on my social media and the ASSIPJ Facebook Page. To register to to the link in my bio. I really look forward to seeing you there. It will incredible to see your work in the finished quilt - a dream come true for all involved. See more
