Faith and the Heartlands Panel

STITCHING THE TAPESTRY OF THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS

This audio forms part of a series of audio interviews conducted in 2023 by Smartify as part of the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands project. Listen and discover the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands through the eyes of the stitchers of the Tapestry of the Highlands and Islands.

Join Margaret, Trevor and Vicki of the Heartlands Stitchers as they discuss the creative journey of their group's panel, the importance of diversity in the panel, from age, area to faith, and a sense of community in the Heartlands group.

[Vicki] ...because although the theme was faith, we didn't want it all to centre around one faith, in one church. There are so many faiths represented on that panel because there are so many faiths that are in this area...

[Margaret] Nothing was going to be excluded either from being too poor in style or ability, or the wrong subject, or the wrong person. If we could make it work in anyway it was gonna be on there.
