Tapestries and tweeds

On show at An Lanntair, the Stornoway Arts Centre when I was there the other day was this exhibition of miniature tapestries, all sketches or samples for larger pieces, (some by famous names whose work I saw here in Edinburgh last year).

Also on display was this locally made quilt or wall-hanging:

an unusual but attractive use for tweed.
