Embroidered globes were unique to the Westtown School – a Quaker boarding school in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Made at this site by the female students between 1804 and 1844, these items were intended to teach mathematical geography, astronomy, the use of globes and needlework simultaneously. Young girls learned sewing skills by first making samplers, while older girls produced items such as pocket books, pin cushions, and globes. The item’s deterioration is surprisingly helpful, in that it reveals the process by which the globe was created, with silk thread embroidered over linen, mounted over wool, and inked map boundaries and place names.
The first kiss embroidery I think I'll keep for myself

I feel kind of like a Disney princess in this picture... which is kind of what I was going for so yay!
Pattern: Emboirdered Anklets from Knitting Lingerie Style
Needles: Knitpicks DPNs (will check the size and edit it in later.. maybe)
yarn: Cascade Fixation; just shy of one ball.
Mods: Used only one ball of yarn instead of four. The pattern is for thigh-highs and these are just anklets. Also no embroidery on them.
I loved the thigh-high pattern in the book, but wasn't sure if I'd enjoy wearing socks made of Fixation. I had a ball of the stuff in my stash, so I decided to make little anklets and see what I thought before investing that much time and money into something I wouldn't necessarily wear.
If I knit them again I might do a different short row heel and toe; this one has a row of little holes on either side that I don't know I like.
I never imagined, when I bought this piece of leather, that I could use it in this way.
A fantastic, hand embroidered, leather bracelet.
The rose in the middle of the bracelet have five shades of pink and it's in between two little blue flowers.
It is cut in such a way that embraces the wrist.
The width of the bracelet is 8.5cm.

A friend wanted to know if I could make the objects appear embroidered, I did not think I could do this but, after jumping through a few hoops (no pun intended) I manage it!
A commission piece 7"x7" floss, metallics, wire & vintage fabrics on denim (& stitching on stretchy denim is dreadful, by the way!!)
Embroidered to annoy my teenage daughter's friends who LURVVE Edward. I wear it with pride. Who cares if I'm forty!
Perle Cotton #8 on hand dyed silk. It's difficult to prevent a row around the edge from getting distorted while attaching it to the button blank. Any hints? Maybe I should add those after the button is finished?
All the lovely ladies wear these with clashing printed skirts underneath, bright scarves, plastic shoes and ribbons plaited in their hair..
A custom commission for a Hall & Oates fan. Full story of this piece blogged:
miniaturerhino.blogspot.com/2014/02/hall-oates-embroidere...
Various fabrics were attached with Bondaweb then a small amount of machine embroidery was used to blend fabrics together. Then the lace piece was attached and hand embroidery was used to finish.
This notebook is made from felt and was hand embroidered from a pattern drawn by myself.

Women continue to reclaim their honor, despite, discrimination, poverty and the systemic barriers set against them. In this composition I have tried to show their collective and individual echo valuing their importance.

Embroidered Birdie Bunting pattern by Charlotte Lyons, embroidery by me. Blogged here: lisasteatime.blogspot.com/2013/07/embroidered-birdie-bunt...
China. Guizhou.
Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture.
Leishan County
Traveling from Leli to Kaili.
My personal comment: over commercialized, to be avoided if you don't want to be trapped amid busloads of very loud mostly Chinese tourists with big zoom lenses, smartphones and tablets. If you like fake and dress up parties, this is the place to be.
Surrounded by green mountains, Langde Shang Village is situated beside a crystal stream. Several roofed wooden bridges, called "Wind and rain" bridges by the locals, stretches over the stream. Several stone grain mills and mill wheels have been built on both sides of the stream. Ducks can be seen here and there, flapping the wings happily in the water. On the waist of the slope facing the village is a 150-meter-long racecourse and a flat ground, whose area is about 8 mu (mu is a traditional unit of area, equaling to 0.0667 hectare or 1/6 acre). On March 5th of the lunar calendar every year, thousands of young Miao people from the region where the four counties, Leishan, Kaili, Majiang, and Danzhai, have a common boundary, come to the place. They climb the mountains, sing musical dialogues in antiphonal styles, and race horses.
The Langde Shang Village is located at the foot of a mountain. There are five “flower roads” leading to the village. A wood gatehouse, called the "village gate", is built at the eastern, western and northern entrances of the village. Row upon row of wood houses (those propped up by wooden supports with ladders leading up) makes a picturesque scene. The roads and courtyards in the village are paved with cobbles or bluestones. There are a drum ground and a Lusheng (the reed-pipe wind instrument used by Miao, Yao and Dong nationalities in southwestern China) ground, built in the pattern of ancient bronze drum surface. Twelve short tracks, paved with blue-brown cobbles, stretch to twelve directions, symbolizing the twelve rays of lights. A cobble pattern of galloping horse is inlayed at the end of the drum ground and the Lusheng ground.
Visitors to Langde Shang Village have to drink the "block-the-way" wine (a local custom of welcoming the guests) when they arrive. Twelve tables are placed in the middle of the path from the roadside of the highroad to the gate of the villages. Several full-dressed young people will propose a toast to the guests with two bowls of wine, wishing them happy and healthy. At the last table to the village, people will use a big cow horn to hold the wine and propose toast to the guests. So the guests should drink a lot before they enter the village. However, those who are not good at drinking don't have to worry. If they don't want to drink, they can put their hands at the back, bend forward a little and touch the cup with their lip, and say " dousemo" (Miao language, meaning "thank you"). Then they can pass the table. The villagers are very hospitable, but they will never make the guests drink if they can't.
The welcoming ceremony continues when the villagers set off firecrackers, play Mangtong (a kind of local musical instrument), and sing song of toasting the guests. Then the villagers will dress up and lead the guests to the Lusheng ground. The young villagers will have the traditional dances, Lusheng dance, wooden stool dance, wood drum dance, bronze drum dance, and so on. Finally, all the villagers will go the ground and form several circles and dance. They will also invite the guests to join them. After the dancing ceremony, guests can go to the villagers' home to observe the creaking spinning wheels and the weaving machine and enjoy the quiet village life.
