OH MY GODS!

That's quite possibly the most fantastic thing I've seen in days! Weeks! Hell's bells, maybe even months!

It is beautiful and I must do it!

Ship in a bottle. Saw someone post that they'd done this on FB and had to recreate it immediately.

I posted a photo of my dolls dressed in my handsewn aromantic-themed clothes on my other blog, so of course my clothes featuring the far-superior pride flag needed some showing-off as well.

(I am joking, of course ... but I really do like our allo-aro pride colours.)

I bought a quarterly needlepoint magazine from 1991 today for $1 at an op shop, and there’s a four page spread about a woman who completely faithfully remakes samplers from the 1600s and the part that blows me away is that she was keeping women in history alive.

The original sampler maker was a teenaged girl called Loara she’s the only one known of seven siblings in that family. She was born approximately 1632 and had passed before her father had in 1656 which they know because it was mentioned in his will.

So in the 1630-40s a girl made a sampler, in 1991 a woman had put in years of research before recreating the sampler as Loara had 350 years earlier , and I’m reading about it in 2024.

Embroidery keeps women alive in history, and it’s part of why I love samplers so much.

Here’s a quote from samplers that I think about often:
