And a great one! 
ItĀ“s too late baby itĀ“s too late
DonĀ“t mention the war!
And I thought itās Wandteppich: Indy was always talking about those fine Wandteppiche! (which word did he use in the original version btw.? Have to look it up laterā¦).
Same here.
A āWandteppichā is a carpet. A āBildwirkereiā isnāt a carpet (but made of other textiles).
/edit: Hmā¦ the German Wikipedia redirects Wandteppich to Bildwirkereiā¦
An afghan is a blanket, often knitted or crocheted, something youād keep draped on the couch. Iāve been calling the TWP cross stitch an afghan because itās stitched on fabric thatās marketed as āafghan fabric,ā but ZakPhoenixMcKracken is right, a tapestry is a more accurate descriptor. Itās too delicate to use as a blanket.
(Actually, the company that makes the fabric is German, but I canāt find it on their website to see what they call it in German. In English itās called Anne Cloth and the company is Zweigart.)

You know ,now that I see this again, when you look closely you notice the ADR in that part where he says āI am Mickey Mouseā which sounds and looks a bit odd. ItĀ“s because it was recorded later as he originally said āthen I am Jesse Owensā. Lucas and Spielberg later decided that theyĀ“d rather have a reference that was more universially recognizable and stil would fit into the time. So they choose Mickey Mouse and had that line dubbed over later.
The afghan (aka tapestry) is done!
Iām auctioning off the finished piece for charity. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Video Game History Foundation (http://www.gamehistory.org).
The auction is here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Handmade-Thimbleweed-Park-cross-stitch-tapestry-afghan/132616723449
So if you want to own this thing and donāt want to do all the stitching yourself, nowās your chance! (I actually added up the stitches ā there are 72,049 altogether.)
