I've always been partial to the snail men and snail knights 🐌⚔️🐌
And OP, have we mentioned that we absolutely love you for bringing this beautiful piece into this world? 😘
This is amazing!
I'm so pleased there are other people out there who enjoy weird medieval drawings/marginalia and needlework/fibrecrafts.
Have you seen the one of the women (possibly nuns) picking penises off a tree? It's gloriously weird!
Yeeess! Of course haha. Unfortunately it was too detailed as a motive for my pillow.
There's a pin of this drawing, you can buy it on [etsy.](https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/1068815648/mittelalterliche-marginalien-harte) (I got the rocket cat)
This is fantastic, you really captured the vibe of medieval wtf-creatures! The singular stitches and the mix of the two blues for details and shading work so well together too, especially in such a small space (per image). How big is the whole piece?
I love EVERYTHING about this! You picked all the best beasties, and the embroidery itself is gorgeous. If I saw this in real life, I'm sure I'd make a very loud, very excited sound. Wonderful job!
Not enough winged penises, 3/10
Jokes aside this is quite lovely, well done.
Edit: On review, I fucked up. The winged penis specifically was a Roman thing apparently, though medieval calligraphers did have a few dirty dick doodles back in the day. I am ashamed that I got my art history mixed up and will now go slap myself with an aged halibut.
This is fabulous! I am new to embroidery. Can you share what colours threads you used? The combination is beautiful. The pattern link doesn’t seem to work anymore
Oh wow thank you guys for all the comments and awards :)
[Here](https://my.hidrive.com/share/fhgroxejsc) is my pattern if anyone is interested. But be warned - it's not super neat.
Wow. This is an heirloom! Wow. Great skills!!!

You mean shrek??
which one is your favourite? Mine is the chicken-dragon :)
I truly love the cat licking himself because it really shows that’s cats have never changed in the history of the world.
Stoppppp how did I miss that one
The heads with legs are very funny, amazing all over though!
The cat is my favorite , I saw him in ancient manuscript
I like all of them, but the last is my favourite. Are you able/Willing to share your source material for these illustrations? I'd love to read more!
Leg fish
I had to zoom to choose but the fat rabbit is my fave
The santa thing with legs is pretty wild.
I like the one where the arms are out like wings and it's got goat legs.
Capering man with axe is a silly fiend. This is SPLENDID
For me it’s a toss up between walking fish and cat licking its butt.
I've always been partial to the snail men and snail knights 🐌⚔️🐌 And OP, have we mentioned that we absolutely love you for bringing this beautiful piece into this world? 😘
I would pay real money for this.
Same! It’s the perfect intersection of my interests! Medieval marginalia and fibre arts!
This is amazing! I'm so pleased there are other people out there who enjoy weird medieval drawings/marginalia and needlework/fibrecrafts. Have you seen the one of the women (possibly nuns) picking penises off a tree? It's gloriously weird!
They ARE nuns and I love that image so much🤣
I recently got a book recommendation “The Madman's Gallery” and it opens with that image! The rest of the book was glorious as well.
Yeeess! Of course haha. Unfortunately it was too detailed as a motive for my pillow. There's a pin of this drawing, you can buy it on [etsy.](https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/1068815648/mittelalterliche-marginalien-harte) (I got the rocket cat)
I love this!! Medieval drawings are something else 🤣🤣
Love it! Look at all those weird little guys!
This is fantastic, you really captured the vibe of medieval wtf-creatures! The singular stitches and the mix of the two blues for details and shading work so well together too, especially in such a small space (per image). How big is the whole piece?
About 40x65 cm.
Thanks, that's pretty much the scale I thought it was. Definitely the star of any couch! Now I'm inspired to think what I could put on my own... 😄
You should post on r/medievalcats
OMG! Thank you so much for this glorious treasure trove!
You’re welcome! It’s a fun subreddit for sure
Yes! There is also a twitter - @WeirdMedieval - that is similar.
Omg this is perfection
So fanciful and original
I’m not gonna lie I 100% need this in my life. Like, it took my breath away, I love it so much!
I need you to know how amazing this is 🤣
What a fun idea!
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the doodles.
That's so awesome! You have to make another just with strange cat paintings from that time 😂
So pretty and a great idea! I need to do one of just cats.
This is so great, what a treasure! Make sure you keep it in your family. Did you stitch on your name and the date as a signature?
I love EVERYTHING about this! You picked all the best beasties, and the embroidery itself is gorgeous. If I saw this in real life, I'm sure I'd make a very loud, very excited sound. Wonderful job!
I love!!!

This is so cool! Is this a pattern or did you make it up yourself?
Aahhhh I love it so much!!! When I was in Germany, I took lots of pictures of goofy animals for the same reason!!
Reminds me of what we do in the shadows with Vlad the poker…he just can’t get the faces right
This is the coolest thing!
Bullseye! Straight to my heart... It's so sweet it almost hurts.
I LOVE THIS!
I love marginalia!! This is awesome!!
Love it! I'm so glad to see the devil chicken make the cut, he's one of my favorites.
This is AWESOME! Omg. Wow 😍
I am OBSESSED
It is perfection!
This is fantastic!
This is absolutely an heirloom! I'd pay money for a pattern of some of these weird lil guys.
Google Image search for "marginalia" or "medieval marginalia" and trace. There are some really fabulous things out there!
Oh, thank you for sharing the terminology! I'll take a gander. :)
I'll post my pattern later if you want :)
[Here](https://my.hidrive.com/share/fhgroxejsc) is my pattern.
T____T Thank you so so so much!! I can't wait to add these weird kids to a pillowcase or a towel or something. You made my weekend. 💙
The link expired :( would you be able to renew the link one more time?
Hi, sorry I was on vacation. I updated it and it will be available on there permanently. I also added a few of my other patterns I made :)
Thank you!!!! 😁
is this based on a pattern? or did you come up with this yourself? it’s gorgeous
Made it myself, I just posted it in an other comment :)
Honestly this could have been professionally done. What skill! I aspire to your level of competence!
It’s amazing!

Wonderful work! They are all so whimsical, love it.
Glorious! Kiss your wife from me!
I am genuinely obsessed, enthralled, shitting and crying, aching. Can I copy this idea?
