Tartan Needlepoint from the Scottish Highlands Tour

These beautiful tartan needlepoints were recently completed by Sandra McFarlane and Pamela Clarkson, who attended the Scottish Highlands Tour in August.

The canvases, which were hand-painted with the MacGregor tartan, were provided by our tutor Meredith Willett who also taught a silk and metal thread design during formal teaching hours (this was much too fiddly to stitch while travelling!). Phillipa taught a beautiful crewel work piece in a deep blue wool. You ca read about all the projects from this tour here.

Sandra chose her own McFarlane tartan while Pamela stitched the MacGregor tartan.

Well done ladies for finishing these so quickly! Now we're looking forward to seeing your other two designs!
