Medieval
|
|
This
very pretty needlework collection has a lovely story behind
it.
In the Sixteenth century in Stirling Castle, Scotland there hung a
series of amazing woven tapestry wallhangings. They depicted hunting
scenes, flowers and animals. They were huge and stunning pieces of
medieval needlework.
Today those original wallhangings can be seen
at The Metropolitan Museum in New York in the Cloisters venue.
Also today you can visit Stirling Castle were a project is
taking place to reweave those tapestries and replace them in
Scotland. So far 2 out of the original 7 have been completed.
Cobweb Designs was commissioned by Historic Scotland to design
needlework kits to celebrate this fabulous project.
