Manbroidery

I started embroidering when my daughter (then aged 10) expressed an interest. I am the hobby guy in our family. My daughter got bored with it quite quickly but I ended up interested. It is a fun way to personalize your clothing at little expense. If you look at all traditional embroidery patterns, they tend to have a chick feel: hearts, flowers, feel-good sayings, etc. OK, I can do hearts and flowers, but I also like geometric patterns, dragons, skulls, and sarcasm. The latter I have dubbed as "manbroidery". Here is an example below, that I made for my host in Michigan. He is the chair of the department here, and "loves" to hear about everyone's problems. This was a warm-up project for a wedding present I am working on.
