Today is World Embroidery Day. Set up in 2011 by a group of passionate stitchers in Sweden, this day of stitch-creation has now spread right round the world, celebrated by expert and novice stitchers alike (and those who simply like to gaze at the work created by others).

Celebrate by doing your own stitching or planning a new project, reading about the wonderful Tapestries, booking your visit to The Great Tapestry of Scotland, and making a date to check back into this website for details of our new stitching workshops, starting soon!

Whatever you do, put stitching at the heart of your day. Enjoy!
