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 Marilyn, of the Black Isle Backstitchers, and Margaret and Vicki, of the Heartlands Stitchers, as they discuss working with the lurking nemesis of the Tapestry of the Highlands and Islands - bondaweb.
[Vicki] Oh! Me and bonadaweb don't like each other AT ALL...I bonded myself to the ironing board at one point [laughs]. Very patient and children going 'mummy you alright?'...'Yes, I'm fine'.
