Well done Jean Hatchet
Hardwick Hall mounts an exhibition
Material Power is a celebration of tapestry, embroidery and appliqué. Rewoven presents contemporary textile works that respond to, or work in conversation with, the historic surroundings and context of Hardwick Hall.

Displayed throughout the house and aligning with the key themes of Bess’s textile displays, they present and explore aspects of female experiences, identities and power. Connecting with stories told within Hardwick’s historic collection, they also offer reflection on the materiality and cultural symbolism of working with textiles.

"A trans activist stitched blue and pink colours over JK Rowling’s name. Everyone had contributed a name of a notable woman and just one name had been chosen to be erased. The trust and the artist let this nasty act stand. So I rectified it to the original intention of the woman who embroidered it."

I see I'm way behind. Patches will be going abroad for stitching. This is wonderful.

Surely we need some FWR stalwarts on Jean’s dress?

Well that shows pretty clearly that they knew about it!

Why wouldn't they have a rule that noone can cross out someone else's name??!

I'm not sure which is worse tbh.

BettyBooper · 04/06/2025 15:14

CompleteGinasaur · 04/06/2025 14:46

If it was crossed out before it was put on display then surely the artist and the NT have been trolling women the whole time?

Indeed!

Just a clarification from Jean about how it will work. She doesn't need patches sent to her.
https://x.com/JeanHatchet/status/1930180670879306077?t=f0gZcG2Cr7OJe6MkamExVQ&s=19

It’s not going to be patches. The dress will move around and be hosted by women’s rights groups in various locations for stitching sessions. I’ll put a map together and then you can get in touch with the women hosting.

We need international TERF dresses, not just the UK.

'International TERF dresses' makes me think of those dolls in 'national' dress that people used to bring back from holidays! Dolls in awful 'flamenco' dresses made out of ribbons are seared into my memory😨

Judging from most of the comments about typical FWR apparel, TERF dolls would be in jeans, sweatshirts and probably Crocs, Doc Martens or SketchersGrin

ArabellaScott · 04/06/2025 15:53

I will add Mary Gordon if I'm able to get to wherever the dress is going to be.

I can't help thinking it would be lovely to do a kind of anti-dress; you know, nothing but TRAs, handmaidens, spineless politicians and public figures all stitched through with green, white and violet..

colta · 04/06/2025 16:00

Well the National Trust won't be getting any more of my money that's for sure!

Indicateyourintentions · 04/06/2025 16:07

Arran2024 · 01/06/2025 18:23

I can't believe the National Trust let this stand once they were told about it. They should have removed the over stitch themselves.

The National Trust closed its open spaces during the pandemic. Can’t forgive them that.
Not surprised they can’t be arsed to support women either.

Me too, but just to see and celebrate it.

Second phase of this if anyone is nearby and interested could be to unstitch all the men's names that've been added.

IwantToRetire · 04/06/2025 19:04

"The piece has been taken off display while we investigate the damage caused and consider next steps."

This quote implies that undoing the stitching that covered JKR's name has caused "damage". Surely the damage was the stitching that covered up the name. (Clearly seen in photo in article link.)

Of course that maybe what was meant, but in the context of JKR asked to comment, etc., rather than asking some well known TRAs what they thought about someone damaging an art work created by members of the public.

Did they support trans activists silencing other voices, damaging art works?

So GC women get witch hunted but TRAs aren't.

A pair of hands are holding a piece of fabric covered in embroided names. The one being held prominently to the camera is "JK Rowling"

National Trust cover up tampered artwork in Derbyshire featuring JK Rowling

A campaigner removed stitching on an artwork which covered the Harry Potter author's name.

The NT asked people

  • to ADD to the artwork

The project was not for others

  • to DELETE a name ADDED by another.

The NT are scrabbling around trying to work out what to say. Now that it is obvious the damage was done by the person who stitched over JKR which they did absolutely nothing about!

Shame on them!

TheOtherRaven · 04/06/2025 19:29

..... soooo vandalising someone else's contribution in a political and really rather nasty gesture towards a woman was fine, but undoing the damage is ....'bad'.

Right. Yes. That's absolutely normal and sensible and doesn't require nice men in white coats at all.

Harassedevictee · 04/06/2025 19:40

This is long but Jean has posted this on X

A little story about the National Trust.

Once upon a time a 6 ft 2" man built like a brick shit house called David Broadchest, renamed himself Daisy Moonflower, and went to work in the ticket office at Hardwick Hall.

Daisy liked dressing in short skirts that went spinny, and loved gathering round the office kettle telling all the women how to be a good trans ally.

There he met up with Kyle Flatfoot, whose pretend name was Amber Cottonbud and who also loved telling women about what it was like being the most oppressed woman round the kettle.

One day an artist brought a big piece of white material and made a floaty dress. Daisy and Amber swooned and dreamed of going spinny in it. Unfortunately, it was not for playing spinny skirt, it was destined to honour women and those over-privileged women, such as Rosa Parks, were to have their names sewn all over it.

Daisy Moonflower and Amber Cottonbud weren't too sure about how they were going to make themselves the most important women in all this. They watched the women carefully.

First one woman and then another stitched the name of the most horrible woman in the world on the dress. She Who Shall Not Be Named, was the most hated woman in the whole of trans land and Daisy and Amber began to cry delicately and barely noticeably in the office.

The caretaker ran in and said a herd of geese had broken into the hall, but when he was sheepishly told it was the tiny tears of the delicate women with a penis, he backed out tugging his cap low and vowing to say five Dylan Mulvaney's that very evening.

Then one day Daisy Moonflower was spinning and spinning near the dress exhibition when he saw that She Who Shall Not Be Named had been sewn onto the dress for a THIRD time. He promptly lost his shit and screamed "Fuck that bitch! OFF WITH HER HEAD."

Amber came running and together he and Daisy clomped loudly along to the haberdashery cabinet and got a needle and thread.

They fucked up that third name as fast and as hard as they could, realising they couldn't actually demand a head on a plate, because it's not an actual fairy story. They stitched and stitched and stitched over it until their tights nipped their bollocks in two, and at lunchtime over their teeny little lady sandwiches, they told all the Lady Allies what they had done and everyone applauded. A woman named Sally rolled her eyes but she was a filthy TERF and her days were numbered anyway.

At the next staff meeting first on the Agenda was the stunning and brave crossing out. Management were asked if the bitch stitches would stay. Everyone looked round nervously at Daisy and Amber. No one dared say anything in case they cried miserably and threatened to suicide in the foyer. Mess was avoided, cleaning budgets are tight, and the stitches stayed.

Then one sunny Saturday, Daisy Moonflower spotted a grey haired witch and a troublesome looking lesbian in the queue and narrowed his eyes. They looked up to TERFY no good. He tried to WhatsApp Amber but he was on his break hoovering up frilly bras on ASOS so the evil cis women didn't enjoy them.

Witchy Greyhair and Troubleface McLesbian slid up to the dress and removed the stitches in front of everyone's eyes. Now She Who Must Not Be Named was restored to the dress to continue wreaking the evil of her name, every visible letter murdering a thousand kittens. Shudders ran all through the land. Where would this possibly end?

The next day Amber told everyone what had happened.

"An evil Serbian with a hatchet ran in and chopped down the dress, rendering its true beauty asunder and bringing a curse on the land and the tragic death of India Willoughby."

A manager looked shocked but Sally raised her hand and said,

"I don't think that's what happened, the dress is still there and India Willoughby is still spouting shit on Twitter."

But Sally is a vile TERF and no one understands her language anyway.

The management immediately covered up the dress which appeared normal but had clearly been burned to the ground.

Proof of life was sent by India Willoughby but no one was arsed and that got filed under "things of insanity said on the internet".

The management had forgotten that Sally is not alone and that lots of women on the internet were fucking delighted that Witchy Greyhair and Troubleface McLesbian had undone a set of shitty stitches.

All of the media came running, and the National Trust realised their terrible mistake too late. Listening to Daisy Moonflower and Amber Cottonbud was costing them money and had torched their reputation.

Daisy and Amber were already spinning round and round at TQIFGHP Pride Year and whipping out their moobs for free cocktails.

The moral of this story is, if you are a UK institution, stop listening to these massive dickheads because the witches and lesbians will find you and they will humiliate you mercilessly.

That's a good photo which clearly shows which of the JKRs was embroidered over, i.e.the one just above a hem, with "Florence" (Nightingale?) above right and "-nnie", in red and "Elizabeth I" above left. Does anyone who saw it have any dateable pics from their visit which show it defaced or not defaced?
See original post, a few upthread, for the picture if it doesn't reproduce here.

Update.
https://x.com/JeanHatchet/status/1930557243373584573?t=tLJU6u7SIw4VrqUNwi6sVw&s=19

So far the TERF dress is going to visit:

Huddersfield
Macclesfield
Liverpool
Manchester
Alloa
Hull
The Scottish Islands
Dorset
Wessex
Norfolk
Chesterfield
Wrexham
Worcester/gloucestershire
West London

It will mostly be accompanied by me and @LightninLex to make sure it doesn’t fall prey to the vindictive Moob swingers and bollock droppers.

It is easier to do this if you find your local, no-good, dirty damnable TERFy group and we will bring it to them. I’ll put a map and time scale together when women have all shouted up.

DM me. Don’t do it if you’ve got (or ever had) a dick or you make a habit of dick-pandering.

This is a female-only dress and project.

I’ll put out a list of who to contact for each area later on. Still finishing it!
