A stitch in time: textile treasures and the women who made them

A stitch in time: textile treasures and the women who made them

In our final episode of 2024, Jackie Bird heads to Edinburgh to take a look at Stitched: Scotland’s Embroidered Art – a new exhibition that tells the nation’s story through textiles.

The result of a two-year research and conservation programme by the National Trust for Scotland, Stitched puts many delicate pieces of needlework on public display for the first time.

Joining Jackie are Trust curator Emma Inglis and Celia Joicey, director of Dovecot Studios, which is hosting the exhibition. Together, they discuss how such fragile items are cared for, where they come from, and what they tell us about the people who once owned them.

Stitched: Scotland’s Embroidered Art runs at Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh, until 18 January 2025. For more information, and to book tickets, click here. National Trust for Scotland members can enjoy 50% off a full price ticket.
