Stitched Together



This is a map of Syria, stitched with a group of women refugees now living in Skipton.  It has been made for the Skipton Embroiderers' Guild 'Where's My Home' project and is a collaboration between some of the ladies in the group and EG members.  We have added stars to show where the ladies have come from (Damascus, Homs, and Allepo), 'Syria' written in Arabic script, and a representation of homes destroyed in the conflict.

Although our lives have taken very different paths, we have found each other in the place we now call home and shared a common interest in stitching.
