When I posted a few weeks ago about The Great Tapestry of Scotland I didn't know that I'd be having a wee hand in the making of it myself, but so it turns out as I've been invited to join a local group stitching here in north Edinburgh.
Above is the design for our panel, representing the 1914-1918 War, and in the finished sequence it will follow Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School of Art (and neatly those are Margaret MacDonald Mackintosh 'spirits' flanking the soldier and lady) and in turn be followed by the building of HMS Hood and the Battle of Ypres, that is according to the master list.
We are just at the very early stages of outlining the figures, and I'll be doing my bit on that soon, but for more excitement, take a look at the Tapestry's Facebook page and see some of the wonderful work which has already been done on other panels.
