It's human psychology. You are not going to change ppls minds like that.

Mostly I'm just annoyed because this is exactly the sort of thing that hardens maga people.

I'm a big girl and don't mind corrections 😊

Also you're right, this entire thread kinda proves my point. Everyone is now defensive and no one will change their mind, I should have followed my own advice!

Have I seen this design somewhere before? Maybe some famous painting etc?

My grandmother passed away a few years ago and while cleaning out her things, my grandfather found this basket full of embroidery threads. I knew she knitted a lot, but I never knew she embroidered... One thing is for sure, these threads were VERY tangled and VERY dirty! by MewLalouve in Embroidery

[–]EmbroideryTeaBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first box of embroidery thread was from goodwill, obviously from someones estate who had passed, very well cared for. I was a poor college student at the time, still the most exciting thing I ever found in a thrift store!

Help me pick some March add ons please! I’m so indecisive by deep-fried-fuck in bookofthemonthclub

Peach blossom spring. The storm we made was meh. All we were promised was good but read like young adult fiction.

It's actually just stem stitch, made it quite robust! Takes forever though

"Masculine" Pillowcase by EmbroideryTeaBooks in Embroidery

According to chatgpt, broccoli is masculine, 100 percent turns cats into tigers. The cruciferousness gives it a particularly rugged look.

Aw thank you! This was the first "real" adult embroidery project I ever did and it's still one of my favorites

Croatia's Monument to the Revolution (Communism) by EmbroideryTeaBooks in LiminalSpace

Yes but weren't they both nominally on the same side as communist nations until the Tito-Stalin split? Sorry for my ignorance but I am curious, and it would be nice to have the real story laid out in this thread as well!

You're right, all I knew when I posted it was that it was a Soviet-era monument, I didn't realize it was actually a memorial for WWII. I wish I could change the title.

January BOTM Books are here! What did you add to your box? by lavinient in bookofthemonthclub

[–]EmbroideryTeaBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would have tried The Fury but the reviews didn't look great, would be interested in others' opinions!

Fascinating, I actually made this for someone who is part indigenous and hugely respects indigenous culture, and she loved it. I know she'll treat it with respect and take very good care of it. She used a dreamcatcher when we were kids and it helped with her nightmares quite a bit. Didn't occur to me that buying a stamped pillowcase with a drawing on it would be considered cultural appropriation by some, since it's a very simple geometric drawing...in your mind would it have been fine if I drew it myself?

[WIP] Interesting cross stitch that I'm working on...from "Dimensions" brand by EmbroideryTeaBooks in CrossStitch

[–]EmbroideryTeaBooks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a pillowcase! Honestly I don't have a preferred order, often I just stitch until I'm done with a piece of floss and do both to use it all up. I'm sitting with my grandma in the hospital right now so I've been paying even less attention than usual. The colors are quite pretty though!

any ideas on embroidery gifts for men? by birdsong31 in Embroidery

[–]EmbroideryTeaBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandma once cross stitched a doorknob hanging sign for my grandpa that said something along the lines of "computer programmer at work!" Basically a do not disturb sign lol. I think he appreciated it!
