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 Susan of the Oh Sew Mull stitching group as she discusses a curious hidden story on her panel - a tale of tomatoes, a telephone box and retired Ulva ferryman Donald.

I wanted to make sure I'd done justice to Donald's face...he's a man of few words but he did blush so I took that as great encouragement that I'd done something right.
