World Embroidery Day is celebrated each year on July 30, and the annual event was founded in Sweden in 2011.
The initiative came from Kerstin Nettelblad and Skåne Sy-d, a local group of Broderiakademin, the Swedish Embroiderer’s Guild. The first World Embroidery Day took place in Vismarlöv in Sweden, on 30th July 2011.
It has become a day to celebrate the art of embroidery fostering peace,
freedom, and equality.
It's a great day to get out your needle and threads and stitch with a
group of friends or simply commune with your creativity on your own.
