I 2011 tog den Skåne Sy-d som er en lokalafdeling af Broderiakdemin (det svenske svar på Embroiderer´s Guild ) initiativ til at stifte en Verdens broderidag og den første af slagsen fandt sted i Vismarlöv i Sverige d. 30 juli 2011.
I anledning af Verdens Broderidag mandag d. 30 juli arrangerer Broderibloggen og venner en broderievent mandag d. 30 juli. Tid, sted og koncept annonceres her på bloggen inden længe. Sæt kryds i kalenderen, vi håber rigtig mange har lyst og mulighed for at deltage i en spændende broderievent.
Manifesto
for World Embroidery Day 30th of July
Textile reflects our world ; embroideries can show the expressions of our time.
Embroidery and textiles can focus on the social injustices between countries.
By the means of embroidery we can draw attention to the necessity of engaging in the force of textile in global trade and with it in world peace.
Textiles is a power and let us use embroidery as an inspiration for people to engage in creativity that leads to a better understanding between countries and between people.
To embroider is a peaceful occupation. It can be traditional made from a common remembrance, drawn designs, from a pattern, or from your own imagination. You embroider for joy, beauty, decoration and for the creation of identity.
Stitches can be decorative, beautiful, comforting, repeating, healing, telling, pleasurable, rebellious, caressing and perfect.
People embroider out of joy,as a hobby, professionally, for the bare necessities of life and as an act of freedom. You embroider together with others or in meditative solitude.
We want to acknowledge embroidery as an act of free creativity, which can lead to free, creative thoughts and ideas. We want to tie our embroidery threads from the privileged northern hemisphere together with stiches that are sewn by embroidering sisters and brothers all over the world.
We want to be part of a joyfully creative peace movement.
The initiative came from Skåne Sy-d, a local group of Broderiakademin, the Swedish Embroiderer’s Guild. The first World Embroidery Day took place in Vismarlöv, 30th July 2011. The importance of embroidery must be made known and World Embroidery Day will spread around the world. Make 30th July a day filled with creativity for the sake of Peace, Freedom and Equality.

Hej alla danska broderivänner!
Så underbart att initiativet till Världsbroderidagen nu sprids också till Danmark!
Och så härlig idé att låta alla brodera en fredsduva! På så vis får vi kanske fram en broderad symbol för dagen! Själv tänker jag åka ner till Smygehuk till utställningen Tantastygn, där dagen skall manifesteras
Jag kan nämna att jag skall leda en weekendworkshop i broderi på Handarbejdets Fremme i Köpenhamn den 21-23 september. Så då kan vi få fler trådar att knyta samman! Mai-Britt Bille står för inbjudan. Detta kanske alla vet om men information kan man ju aldrig få för mycket av. VAR INTE RÄDD- TÄNK SJÄLV- BRODERA FRITT ! Hälsar Elsa
Kære Elsa
Tak for din hilsen. Vi glæder os meget til Verdens Broderidagen. Jeg har allerede reklameret for din weekendworkshop her på bloggen. Det lyder vældig spændende – der skal nok blive fuldt hus.
God Verdens Broderidag.
De bedste hilsner fra Tine
