This is a New Years sampler of computational embroidery textures and techniques.

The stitching path for each letter is computationally generated using a combination of the PEmbroider library and some geometric algorithm (circle packing, differential growth, Voronoi pattern generator, etc.)

• H: Voronoi Texture
• A: Paizli Fill (Field Fill)
• P: Spiral Fill
• P: Solvent lace
• Y: Radial "Mossy Texture"

• N: Radial "Mossy Texture"
• E: Differential Growth
• W: Radial Fill (Field Fill)

• Y: Radial Fill (Field Fill)
• E: Packed Knots (Circle Packing)
• A: Concentric Fill (Field Fill)
• R: Solvent Lace

• PEmbroider, from CMU's Studio for Creative Inquiry, was used to write embroidery files and manage basic fills
• Tatyana Mustakos helped in initial experiments that influenced some of the techniques used here
