Wick Stitch

The first three side panels have been drawn.

The bottom right square has to be our logo and identifier for Caithness Textile Artists. Dorothy is stitching it using a Wick Stitch which she demonstrated to Louise. It has a herring and a needle.

The panel on the right depicts Duncansby Stacks which are sea stacks to the very north east of the county.  The panel below it depicts a typical Caithness harbour of the time.

Shirley was researching the stitches and colours for the Stacks.

It was agreed that the time spent doing research was very important to get the stitcher's mind set in the right place and to make sure that the stitches reflect the object being worked on.


Ella and Louise agreed that the project has been really good to find out the finer points of the history of Caithness.
