The text translates to “put a flame under your rage, sister”. You go girl!

Thank you! I’ll keep embroidering and am so excited to be able to show my work here.
The picture that inspired the second embroidery is actually from the fight about “Ungdomshuset” (The Youth House) in Copenhagen, Denmark. I don’t know how well known the story is outside of Scandinavia, but the house had been used for political activism and noncommercial culture by anarchists and similar groups since the 80’s. A few years ago the municipality of Copenhagen sold it to a christian sect, which led to riots last winter and in march this year the house was torn down.

oo my bad! Yip I’d definitely heard of that one. Awesome to see people fighting to defend something rather than oppose. Bit more constructive really.
Great to have you on board
