Article on poor women in Hungary getting some much-needed income from their embroidery. Thankfully, there's still some interest in their traditional, cultural artistry and I hope it lasts.

Marxist feminism has corrupted the needlework community as well (more below)     (www.atlasobscura.com)

Everything in this story makes me sick. Here we had a nice old lady who died before she could complete her beautiful embroidered quilt panels.

Some Marxist feminist bought the pieces and had volunteers help stitch them together and add their own anti-white, commie attitudes embroidered into their work.

The completed quilt has the old lady's original pieces forever stitched next to the propaganda.

It's all vile and corrupted.

Look at this shit:

"(Shannon) Downey is intent on upholding Rita’s original vision, but she is glad that the pattern has led to conversations that complicate the ‘wholesome’ narrative. “A lot of people who follow me are white women,” she says, acknowledging that #RitasQuilt largely attracted white stitchers and quilters. “And I feel a great responsibility to gather them and be like, ‘Okay, y’all, let’s talk about white supremacy, let’s talk about intersectionality.’ We have so much work to do.”

Downey is a perfect name for her!

Selections from a 1950 pattern book. The motifs are very pretty and geometric and could be used on any project; linens and clothes, etc.

You can follow the charts for your color work knitting as well.

I screenshotted this tutorial on how to make celestial-themed ornaments. You could do any design of your choice of course but this is a good starter project. Be as simple or detailed as you like.

Enjoy!
