About this deal

Gwen Magee (Gwendolyn) (2010-08-27). "Textile Arts Resource Guide: The Sistine Chapel in Cross-Stitch". Creativityjourney.blogspot.com. Archived from the original on 2023-07-16 . Retrieved 2013-12-29. Loara Standish Sampler". pilgrimhall.org. Archived from the original on 2007-12-18 . Retrieved 2017-04-30. In one towering installation, El Ingenio Colectivo o la Maldición de la Cotorra (2014), a cloud of soft sculpture heads and hands hovers above a line of quilted, headless bodies and a large arrangement of foam, wooden palettes, and shoes. The arrangement suggests a group of bodies divided into three parts—a seductive yet disturbing arrangement of materials. Meléndez, who is interested in issues of women’s identity, sexuality, and representation, hopes that reactions to her assemblages are complicated.

Other materials used are pearl (or perle) cotton, Danish flower thread, silk and Rayon. Different wool threads, metallic threads or other novelty threads are also used, sometimes for the whole work, but often for accents and embellishments. Hand-dyed cross-stitch floss is created just as the name implies—it is dyed by hand. Because of this, there are variations in the amount of color throughout the thread. Some variations can be subtle, while some can be a huge contrast. Some also have more than one color per thread. Not unlike a traditional embroidery sampler, her work often explores the interplay between text and image, without privileging one over the other. “In my last body of work, ‘Invisible Citings,’ I thought about text almost exclusively—text as imagery, text embedded in textile. I’ve developed an interest in rendering handwriting, codes, and typefaces in thread,” Reichek says. Nassar works in tatreez, a traditional Palestinian form of embroidery. Historically, its motifs were passed down from mother to daughter and the story of the pattern was visually encoded in the design itself. Palestinian-American, and born and raised in New York, Nassar was drawn to embroidery out of the desire to connect with his Palestinian heritage and its cultural traditions. The longer he did it, the more he learned about its history, systems, and meanings. “Palestinian embroidery really has it all,” he says. “Geometry, superstition and magic, social cues, family and village associations, embellishment and more.”

The term originates from the Latin applicō [1] "I apply" and subsequently from the French appliquer [2] "attach". There are folk traditions to embellish garments with leather appliqué in Scandinavia, Russia and Eastern Europe, and leather appliqué is also found in Gujarat, India, Pakistan and Morocco where men's clothing and leather slippers are decorated with embroidery and leather appliqué. Felt appliqué is used to add embellishments to women's aprons in Eastern Europe and decorative uses of felt appliqué are also seen among the nomadic tribes of Central Asia to decorate yurts, floor covering and bags. There are lovely images to showcase the types of decorative materials you can use and Mandy encourages you to branch out with unusual materials, including, er, cork! Mixed images from the book.

Appliqué is such an accessible technique that we hope you’ll try it. To inspire you, here are some terrific artists using appliqué in their work.

Cross-stitch sampler, Germany Cross stitching using a hoop and showing use of enamel needle minder Many of my quilts are inspired by dreams– half-remembered scenes charged with emotion or vivid images that have no place in the waking world. Representational prints layer meaning into an image. Some of my favorite quilts are commissioned pet portraits because they are expressions of pure affection. I highlight the pet’s quirks of personality and appearance, celebrating what makes them unforgettable. There are the different styles or types of appliqué, some can be done by hand and some on a sewing machine:
