The Schools are named

Valerie took the panel and wrote the names of the schools recorded in Caithness in 1851. There are a couple of place names where the spelling has changed from then to now but we have double checked them.

Joan then stitched them in a Quaker and back stitch mix. The hard part was the curves but as you can see Joan managed fine.

At the Tuesday sewing morning Joan, Louise and Valerie sat around the table and seed stitched the tables whilst Catherine stitched the roof of the school.
Joan also stitched 'Cissy's' slate using a long and short stitch and then over embroidered it with stranded cotton.

Louise took it home and completed the seed stitching on the top of the tables. She found her old embroidery stand which her daughter uses as a play dragon.
