[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]SI Edinburgh are very proud to have been involved with the national project, instigated by author Alexander McCall Smith and inspired by the Prestonpans Tapestry.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0tapestry was designed for significant periods of Scottish history,\u00a0 and our panel particularly the part played by women; \u00a0each panel was distributed to groups of stitchers around Scotland.<\/p>\n

The SI Edinburgh members\u00a0responsible in the main for completing this piece of work\u00a0were\u00a0Winifred Keeves, Edith Elliot, Jane Green,\u00a0Isabel Smith\u00a0and Clephane Hume.<\/p>\n

Our panel depicts ‘Women get the Vote’ and features Suffragettes of Scotland with the Soroptimist International GBI logo in a smaller right hand bottom corner panel.<\/p>\n

The whole work appeared at the Scottish Parliament and following a tour has now found a permanent purpose built home in Galashiels, in the Scottish borders. SI Edinburgh is delighted that the Gallery has chosen to feature our panel on cards, postcards and a number of small gifts on sale in the shop.<\/p>\n

For more information of the wonderful new gallery please see www.liveborders.org.uk<\/p>\n

A book has been published to accompany this achievement.<\/p>\n
