Heartlands - ...And Finally

BY THE HEARTLANDS STITCHERS

TELLING THE STORY OF THE HEARTLANDS PANEL

In addition to all those already mentioned as being directly involved in the creation of the tapestry panel, grateful thanks are also due to:

... and to the families of all those involved – thanks for their own patience and forbearance - and apologies for when the tapestry interfered with normal home life. I am so grateful to everyone who has been involved – in all the very many different ways. You have all helped to create the very beautiful and unique Heartland tapestry panel. Thank you!

Many thanks to the Heartland Stitchers for sharing with us the incredible stories behind their panel, created as part of the Tapestry of the Highlands and Islands.

READ MORE STORIES FROM THE TAPESTRY OF THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS

Prior to the beginning of the stitching of each tapestry panel, each stitcher of the Tapestry of the Highlands and Islands was tasked with telling their interpretation of the 'Spirit of the Highlands and Islands' within a blank outline of a stone. The possibilities were truly endless - is it represented in the land? The people? A historical site? A favourite memory?

In any case, each journey stone represents the connection between each individual stitcher, their story, and their own sense, or 'spirit', of place. Discover more of the stories behind the journey stones of the Tapestry of the Highlands and Islands here.
