Embroidery on a deep orange square of cotton fabric. In the centre, a circle of pattered yellow and white fabric; from top left clockwise there are embroidered stitched in the shape of a bird, a blue feathery plant, a curling wave, a broken leaf, a white flower and a star

A deep orange coloured square of cotton fabric showing the back of embroidered stitches and long tails of cotton threads arranged in a spiralling formation around the square.

Beautiful square for #StitchAssemblyRGS25 featuring detail of key moments across the #RGS-IBG conference.

'The back with dangling “spiralling” threads signifies the invisible interconnections and on-going (future) weaving of seen and unseen'.

Two overlapping stitched squares. The bottom has dark grey and yellow small shapes stitched onto a salmon pink background, and the top features an embroidered raised fist with the text AC2025 RGS Black Teacher. A small yellow flower sits alongside the stitched piece.

More stitched squares shared by remote participants in our #StitchAssemblyRGS25 session at #RGS-IBG conference last month. Big thank you to all who took part & shared their reflections!

My RGS highlight was the Stich Assembly workshop. This was my attempt to kick off the Watershed Moments project with @riverdonproject.bsky.social. Can you tell what it is?

Just getting started on my stitched contribution to RGS 2025. Is this another way of connecting #arts and #research, #PhysicalMobility and #DigitalMibility? Thank you for this beautiful initiative! #RGSIBG2025 #StitchAssemblyRGS25 🧵🪡
