I wanted to get into embroidery last year and of course the first project that popped into my head was a massive one. So here’s the masterpost for the Discworld jacket I’m currently working on. The plan is to have at least one motif for every book and cover the whole thing. Wish me luck.

This is a work in progress, so I’ll update this post when I finish new stuff.

Feel free to suggest things that should be on there. I’ve still got a list I’m working through, but any ideas are appreciated. 😊❤

I’ve been working on Great A'Tuin on and off since July 2022. My rough estimate is that it took me 150 hours total. That’s the low end btw. I think it was totally worth it, though! ❤

Next up: the luggage and Errol.

At least this one only took me two months. Progress! Meet my version of the Death of Rats.

These have been done since August, but I forgot to update the jacket post. Oops.

Gorgeous! Everything about this project is amazing.

we need more pathetic female characters written by authors who don’t hate women

to be clear since this is making the rounds: she has to be an absolute loser in no way that can be pinned on her gender. no “i’m just a girl tee-hee” stuff. straight up just a loser (nondenominational)

addendum: she must be the most important person in the whole narrative

Boo!

Over the years we have seen Jäger Jack-O-Lanterns before, but reader Crowden Satz has provided us with a particularly fine example based on General Dimo. Thanks, man!

when I was in college in the 1990s I took a document design course and we had to go talk to an archivist at the university library

the library had a single page from a gutenberg bible (the bible had been damaged by fire and the remaining undamaged pieces cut apart and sold) and a CD sitting next to each other

we looked at the bible page, marveling at this 500+ year old page with its neatly set type, carefully kept under a sheet of glass to protect it

and then she held up the CD and pointed out that in 500 years, if a CD could even last that long, it was unlikely we’d possess the technology to read it

and we all got very quiet and look at the book page for a long time

and is evidenced by the fact I’m telling you about this almost 30 years later, I have never forgotten that blank-looking shiny piece of plastic sitting next to a beautiful, ancient piece of paper that someone pressed words into with a machine and left for me to read, hundreds of years before I was born.

yknow how the greener parts of apple skin are tan lines from where leaves and branches obscure the sun? I’m surprised I’ve never seen anyone utilize that for printmaking

finally got an apple that shows this effect well

OH THIS IS EXCELLENT THANK YOU

So I looked up first place:

This is “Light Me Up” by Lindsey Berres. Closeups here.

Here is the (partial?) gallery of entrants on the QuiltCon website, but the image files are so large that I literally can’t load them so have a selection of much lower quality screengrabs from this video tour instead…
