The fable originally appeared in Laurentius Abstemius' collection of humorous fables, the Hecatomythium (1492). Soon afterwards a close translation appeared in the English jest book Merry Tales and Quick Answers (c.1530),Google Books fable x but in general the trend among later fabulists has been to embroider upon the rather threadbare narration of Abstemius. La Fontaine softens the sarcasm by making the change of attitude less immediate in his treatment of the storyKarl Shapiro's translation while Charles Denis in his 1754 translation of La Fontaine lengthens the period further and explains the change as simply the effect of time.

In another confabulatory twist, Weber reports that Baladine's lover, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, had said that the Spiros were descended from one of the richest families of Sephardic Jews, that is that they were of Spanish, not Eastern European origin. Weber doubted this story too, since Balthus's son Fumio, born in the late 1960s, had Tay–Sachs disease, a genetic disorder commonly associated with Eastern European Jews.Weber 1999, p.
The term songket comes from the Malay word sungkit, which means "to hook". It has something to do with the method of songket making; to hook and pick a group of threads, and then slip the gold and silver threads in it. Another theory suggested that it was constructed from the combination of two terms; tusuk (prick) and cukit (pick) that combined as sukit, modified further as sungki and finally songket. Some says that the word songket was derived from songka, a Palembang cap in which gold threads was first woven. The Malay word menyongket means ‘to embroider with gold or silver threads’.

A Russian-born Korean specialist Andrei Lankov commented that "some suspicions had been confirmed when Shin suddenly admitted what many had hitherto suspected", described Harden's book as unreliable, and noted that defectors faced considerable psychological pressure to embroider their stories.See also Some defectors said his testimony is "completely lies".

Artists, in particular, used the flour sacks as the canvas background for creating original oil paintings.
Embroidered bed-rugs and blankets, coverlets, and quilts were a critical necessity in poorly heated early American homes. The making of bedcovers provided women with an important creative outlet and often served as the primary source of decoration in sparsely furnished 17th- and 18th-century homes. As America's economy grew in the 19th century, the increase in leisure time and the availability of inexpensive factory-woven cloth encouraged thousands of women to embroider, sew, and quilt bedcovers for their families and friends. Shelburne Museum was one of the first institutions to collect and exhibit American textiles which possess bold graphic patterns, clarity of line, intense colors, and the imaginative combinations of human figures, animals and vegetation which is often whimsical and out of scale.

The embroideries displayed around the church including the exquisite reredos behind the altar in the Lady Chapel showing The Virgin and Child flanked by St James and St John the Baptist are by Percy Sheldrick (1890–1979) of Ashwell who worked as a master weaver and embroiderer at William Morris' Morris & Co. workshops at Merton Abbey Mills during the 1920s. By far his greatest work was 'The Passing of Venus' from a design by Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood artist Edward Burne-Jones and which includes 18 life size figures; it is now in Lansing Community College in Michigan. He left Merton Abbey Mills in 1939 and returned to Ashwell to work for an antique dealer and where he acted as Verger at St Mary's. Sheldrick continued to embroider in his spare time and his work can be found in collections and institutions all round the world.
Her visual narratives were now enhanced by literary narrative; Marks′ characters could now speak. In 2013, Marks’ process was further enhanced by the purchase of a state-of-the-art “computerized embroidery machine, specialty threads, stabilizers, and CAD software, along with a Windows-based laptop to manage the software,” all of it acquired with money awarded Marks by the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. With these new tools, Marks could now embroider lines and blocks of text directly onto the panels of sewn drawings, instead of piecing words or letters together from fabric sources. The text and typefaces could now be specific to the narrative and immediately legible, leading Marks to become as much writer as visual artist. Besides the sewn drawings, Marks’ fascination with written narrative also manifested itself in text pieces. These smaller works, with only minimal sewn imagery or devoid of imagery entirely, allow Marks’ “voice” its own presentation.
Parish Church of Priscos, Braga As a priest, he was deeply devoted to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, and a dedicated almoner. However, he soon became known for his natural artistic faculties: at the age of thirty, in 1864, he had a wooden theatre built in São Miguel de Cunha and there directed several morality plays of his own composition, such as Taumaturgo Santo António ("Saint Anthony the Thaumaturge"), and A Casta Suzana ("The Chaste Susanna"). He was also a passionate photographer, setting up his own darkroom; he had an interest in optics, owning a Zeiss lense that he attempted to adapt to a camera obscura of his own making, but that he never got round to build, and spoke with enthusiasm about the magic lantern — speculating that, in the not-so-distant future, the projection of moving pictures would be "of paramount importance in the education of the people, and mainly children, on the mysteries of religion". He was also a gifted tailor and embroider.
Three basic methods may be used to embroider with beads: individual beads may be sewn directly onto fabric, or several beads may be run through a needle before running through the backing, or else a line of threaded beads may be laid upon a fabric and secured with couching stitches. Many people use a needle and thread to stitch beads to the fabric, usually a fine needle with a small eye to facilitate easier passage through the small holes in many seed beads, a second technique uses a fine hook to chain stitch thread to the fabric, in Europe this technique is known as Tambour or Luneville embroidery, and is commonly used to bead haute couture garments. In India the work is called Zari or Moochi Aari, or just Aari and is used on garments and furnishings. A hallmark of Tambour or Luneville embroidery is that the beads are attached on the underside of the fabric and the chain is formed on the top side of the fabric.
She would only buy fabrics that would stand out to her, unusual bold fabrics. Her mother is cited to be a big influence on Chambers' creative flair; she taught Lucinda how to sew, embroider and kickstarted her love of interior design. As well as renovating houses, Anne would also offer her sewing services for extra money, for example, every June she would sew all the school uniforms for the local school. With this money she paid the children's school fees. However Lucinda wasn’t always interested in fashion or style, just clothes. She claims that she was more of an ‘underachiever’ at school as she planned on becoming a secretary and getting married after school. However after her father left, there wasn’t enough money for her to enrol in a secretarial course so her mother suggested that they both go to art college. Lucinda went on to study at Hornsey College of Art for a foundation course when she was 18, while her mother went to the London College of Printing at 58 to learn bookbinding.
