As Maker Faire enthusiasts, we love any display of technology-laden craft products. This Lite-Brite DIY by Haley of The Zen of Making has us dreaming of warm Summer nights watching fireflies — with a digital twist, of course. Take one LED light embroidery kit, add Haley's own free firefly embroidery pattern (complete with a mason jar to catch them), and include some finger magic for a wall Read more
Maryam of My Marrakesh recently shared images from a trip to Kashmir where craftsmen were embroidering with wool. There's a specific name for this sort of embroidery that uses a thin, loosely twisted, worsted yarn. And while the decorative technique has been around for centuries, it's recently been experiencing a renaissance with more modern patterns and fresher hues. Can you name this type of Read more
Crewelwork is a decorative form of surface embroidery that uses wool and a variety of different embroidery stitches, and dates back at least 1,000 years. The technique was trendy in the '90s (think granny tapestry) but it's been "out" for at least 10 years now.

I am beginning to feel pretty pathetic and predictable about my love for all things Moroccan. Yesterday, I was flipping through a friend's cookbook, The Food of Morocco, and was literally salivating more and more with every turn of the page. She turned to me and said, "Why don't you move there already?" That's not going to happen any time soon. Until it does, I wouldn't mind soothing my yearning Read more
My mom recently gave me these embroidered pillowcases. I have a special place in my heart for embroidered pillowcases, since my mother and aunties are great embroiderers. Do you have embroidered pillowcases in your home? Do You Have Embroidered Pillowcases? Yes, I'm a fan of them! I don't have any, but I'm considering adding some. They're not my style. Other. I'll tell Read more

It's no secret that the nation has caught the crafting bug, and the art of embroidery, once consigned to the spinsters and elderly of yesteryear, has been taken up by the hipsters and the cool kids. Check out this slideshow to see what kinds of shirt designs, tea cozies, and MP3 player pouches these embroiderers gone wild have come up with. Source Read more
TheKlein Reid Flora & Fauna Pillows ($120-125) are certainly not your grandmother's embroidery. These hand-creweled linen pillows feature quirky flowers and animals in bold colors, giving the folksy art a swig of hip flair. I've seen a wealth of crafty homemade interior accessories over the past few years, but nothing so fun and chic. As you might have guessed, the embroidered owl is my fave, Read more
