If you own or have access to an embroidery machine, or if you want to learn how the combination of #Inkscape and the #Inkstitch [1] plugin works, I have created a mirror on #codeberg where you can download all my stitching files as SVG and DST. CC0, so free to use in whatever way you like.

Just home from the Tatreez workshop at V & A Dundee, the workshop was organised by Tatreez Collective.
If you get a chance to go to a workshop by T.C, please go. No stitching experience required as they talk you through the steps to cross stitch.
It was a really interesting workshop, about the history of Palestinian stitching and the meaning of some of the main patterns used. Obviously politics did come into it.
Tatreez Collective was set up to preserve the embroidery, the meaning, while also providing work for women in Palestine.
They addressed the point of cultural appropriation, their reasoning is, it is not cultural appropriation so long as you describe it as Tatreez or Palestinian Embroidery and spread on the knowledge of what the patterns mean.
I realise this is a rambling description of the workshop and probably makes no sense. I feel horrific and can't stop shaking after the effort of today, but I wanted to tell you about it before it leaves my brain.
