Yarns Artwork in Silk Wall Hangings

As well as the museum the information centre has a display of some beautiful wall hangings, made from silk, ribbon, thread etc depicting the story of Deloraine.



Many hands & untold hours went into these lovely four panels, for the seasons of the year
Summer, Autumn, Winter & Spring
 


There is a 20 minute presentation, telling the story of each panel
 
 


Names of all the people who contributed a piece of the hangings
 
 
 
 
 


Lovely "Wally"
