This week is #mentalhealthawarenessweek and we all know that stitching is good for calming your mind. Get involved in some stitch therapy at our wee sanctuary - come and stitch with us on thursday evenings throughout June and July from 5pm - 8pm (come for the whole session or drop in when you can). Sheila has designed some gorgeous Bargello kits and will be there to help get you started with this quick and addictive technique. Choose a kit to stitch or bring your own work. Just £5 per session (materials extra). The kits will be available on our website soon - get in touch if you would like one sooner! Book on our website - link in bio ⬆️ . . . . . . #mentalhealthscotland #stitchtherapy #bargello#florentine#wemyssneedlework #embroidery#canvaswork #appletonswool#zweigartcanvas
Today's close up is this gorgeous soft peach colour velvet quilted purse. The close up is of the reverse of the bag as you can see from the other picture the pile on the front of the bag has deteriorated over time and perhaps due to exposure to sunlight. All the windows in our museum are now UV protected to help preserve the collection. . . .#closeuptuesday . . . . #wsnarchive #wsn #wemyssschoolofneedlework #vintageembroidery #textilearchive #quilting #trapunto #velvet #vintagestitchery #embroidery

#closeuptuesday is back! This week it's 'The Bouldon Rectory Album' This bound album of stitched pages was given to Ameila Collinson by her 10 daughters for Christmas in 1848. The Wemyss School was donated the book by Osla Guest who didn't want it to get lost or forgotten. Each daughter stitched a page and chose different motifs. We love the needlepoint bugs stitched by Thomasina Septima de Winton (age 20).
