A test piece of white aida fabric on an embroidery frame. A couple of strips of stitching show a gradient of pale to darker blue. Two skeins of wool on either side can be seen, dyed in shades of blue.

Time to give some love to this gentle stitching project that I started last September. It got pushed aside by two much more bolshy and demanding pieces.

Photo showing an embroidery hoop and a blue and white cyanotype print of September flowers. Some of the flowers have been embroidered with pink, purple, green and white cotton floss.

"What I do want to scream is that a strike is not a spell... Power concedes nothing without a demand—and that demand is not a word, not a spell. It is a strike"

I skimmed this essay before I realized who wrote it, but the author (Tabitha Arnold) makes stunning textile art

a person holding up a woven tapestry, at the bottom people are holding placards that say labor is entitled to all it creates. the design features people in jobs in a city, some angels, and a giant outline of scabby the rat

Joy during oppression - Stephen Towns's mixed media quilting art portrays and celebrates family and community during a time of racial segregation in the American South, and his work calls back to the stunning quilts made by Black Southern women.

A new crochet coral reef is coming.

Probably mostly interesting to those in the US.

If it weren't that far: making corals is great fun AND a great stashbuster.

Berkshires Satellite Reef

The Berkshires Satellite Reef—part of the worldwide Crochet Coral Reef by artists Christine and Margaret Wertheim and the Institute for Figuring—is a communally-sourced art project entailing the creation of a life-size coral reef made entirely out of crochet. It will be exhibited at Williams College in the ’62 Center for Theatre & Dance

The stunning traditional textile art of khayamiya made in Egypt is in danger of being lost with only twenty makers still creating the complex decorative appliqué pieces which take years to learn how to do. The art may date back to the time of the pharaohs and was originally used for tent decoration.
