An art quilt exhibition
Over the summer of 2023 stitchers from all over the UK attended ‘Escape to the Croft Stitching Retreats’ at Pat Archibald’s studio in Locheport, North Uist. These were ‘first timers’ to the island and they were bowled over by the views from the studio, the otters, eagles and deer that paid visits, as well as the hospitality of the islanders that they met.
All their island impressions are expressed within the art quilts on show.
The stitching and painting techniques in the quilts were taught by Pat over the course of the retreat.
More information about ‘Escape to the Croft Stitching Retreats’ can be found by visiting Pat’s website.
The Colours of The Islands art quilt exhibition is free to view in the Taigh Chearsabhagh Cafe Gallery from 30th July – 28th September, Monday to Saturday, 10am-4pm. If you would like to support our continued programming and enable us to keep offering free events, please consider making a donation to Taigh Chearsabhagh.
The quilt in the image above was created by Ann Diggory.
