Some of my unit patches from when I was in the Air Force. The top right is for the 63rd Military Airlift Wing based at Norton AFB, California. The bottom right was my AFSC patch (Aircrew Life Support). The middle patch was from when I was with the 9th RW Physiological Support Division at Beale AFB, California. The top left is my command patch from Norton AFB (Military Airlift Command). The bottom left is my rank when I got out, which was Senior Airman/E-4.
Patches longing to go outside after six days of mandated indoor rest by the vet. Just one more day my dear.
We had a lovely day picnicking and walking on Max Patch on the Appalachian Trail. The views were stunning. Read more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Patch and here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachian_balds

Esta almofada fiz igual ao meu primeiro trabalho em patch, acho este modelo muito gostoso de fazer..
"And Sew to Bed" project patch: the cross-stitch says "inequality= conflict". This was made after reading research by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Picket on the damaging impact of income inequality:
People tend to get judged by what they earn, own and look like
Higher levels of chronic stress, anxiety and poor health across society with the greatest impact on those on the lowest income
Greater sense of injustice and inferiority is felt by those on middle and low incomes
Trust breaks down, society divides, labels and blame are handed out
There are higher levels of violence
Educational attainment is undermined and held down
Social mobility grinds to a halt
Consumption levels are higher leading to environmental damage and increased pressure on resources.
I recently received a package from my dearest friend Sky (CooperSky)
Let's see how it went...
(I'm re-uploading this story because there was a Flickr malfunction when I first did it and nobody could see them.)
A patch here, a patch there, but the Rock remains. Valley Junction, East St Louis, IL, February 2023.

Collard Patch Lake is an oxbow lake off the Savannah River.

This is a very eye catching feature in the village. Despite its obvious antiquity I wasn't able to find out any more about its origin
A mini and an Icelandic. Patches is learning manners by being ponied by Aegir...it is beginning to show in his behavior...most of the time. (He had JUST been gelded when he arrived at the ranch, and he still is really full of himself, and has NO idea how small he is!)
Oh boy. We are deep in the heart of the 1970's. First off I want to point out that this particular ad was found in the middle of Walt Disney's Donald Duck comic book (Number 177, November 1976, to be exact.)
Now that's been established, let's look at the product: these patches were meant to enhance the 70's child wardrobe, most likely a jeans jacket by Wrangler or Levis. The scent of incense and bongwater is heavy over the design of this ad: " . .Patches That Tell It Like It Is!"
Lot's of questionable choices here for the kids: mixed in with the standard cartoon characters (popeye, tweety bird, etc.) we also have representatives from the counterculture: Robert Crumb's Mr. Natural and Felix the Cat, "Black is Beautiful" and the Woodstock logo. There are also badges to help propel you into the adult world: "Powered by Budweiser","USA Drinking Team" and the Playboy bunny (!)
(Again I want to point out, this ad is from a Donald Duck comic book and was published in dozens of other titles. While the counter-culture of the 1970's was clearly watered down and/or burnt out, for many kids this was their repeated introduction to the themes.)
Also fascinating is the mainstreaming of the cultural tag-line.Some of these were gleaned from commercials, others were generic 70's memes that this patch company co-opted, and some I believe were probably invented to fill up space on the page:
"Try it, You'll Like It" (From the 1970's commercial for Alka-Seltzer).
"I Ate the Whole Thing" (Also an Alka-Seltzer tagline, what's up with the antacids?)
"Don't Fool With Mother Nature" (Chiffon Margarine)
Other 70's taglines:
"The Devil Made me Do It" (Flip Wilson)
"Keep on Truckin'" (See Robert Crumb above)
"Steal This Patch" (Reference to Abbie Hoffman's 'Steal this Book')
And then there's the 70's pap that simply grew out of the cultural wasteland like weeds:
"Butterflies are Free"
"Have a Nice Day"
"Work is a Drag"
Cutest Clearly Besotted vegetable patch on the block! 😃

Meet Patch, a Matoran rebuilt for better or worse by Karzahni on Voya Nui. He’s an adventurous soul who often bites off more than he can chew.
#VoyatoranVentures collab with:
When I tore a hole the size of my hand in one of my favorite skirts, I stuck it in the garage meaning to fix it or re-use the fabric some day.
After much thought I decided to rip the seams around the torn part, use the piece to make a pattern for a new patch, and then save the piece to patch some small tears on the rest of the skirts. I could have just used black or dark blue, but where would the fun be in that. So I used skulls to make a 'pirate patch'. Arrrrgh. And I have a bit of skully fabric left so maybe I'll make a belt or something to go with this.
The t-shirt is my newest embroidery project.
The shoes I'm embellishing with beads and baubles a bit at a time.
I finished the hat today. It is made from Plarn. Plarn is plastic yarn repurposed from shopping bags.
Cost: One fat quater of skully fabric .99. Everything else I made from items I already had.
