STITCH MATTERS
Stitch and Textile Art Exhibition In conjunction with Linlithgow Museum.
29 April – 7 May 2023 (closed 2 May)
Monday, Wednesday – Saturday 10am-4pm Sunday 1pm - 4pm
Stitch Matters (formerly Linlithgow and District Embroiderers’ Guild) would like to welcome you to see members’ textile art in a new exhibition at Linlithgow Museum.
Textile art is “art that uses varying materials and fibres
to produce decorative, artistic objects.” Techniques include embroidery, collage, dyeing, printing, felting and lots more. These are based on both traditional
and contemporary styles.
The Stitch Matters group provides an annual programme of speakers, informal stitch and chat afternoons, workshops, learning opportunities and outings. Membership is open to all those with an interest- complete beginners to the more experienced.
Members will be available at the exhibition to share more information about the group, and you can even
try your hand at creating some textile art of your own.
Membership information is available from the secretary at d6eagle@gmail.com

PERAMBULATION OF LINLITHGOW MARCHES 2023
WED 7 JUNE
You are invited to participate in the Perambulation of the Marches this year!
The Perambulation compliments the Marches by walking the line of the Linlithgow parliamentary boundary as established in 1832.
The organisers, Linlithgow Civic Trust, invite town residents and visitors alike to attend.
The walk is four miles long (6.5k) and passes seven out of the eight marches stones, (one original and seven replica stones installed in 2014).
The Perambulation of the Marches takes place on Wednesday 7th June starting at 7pm at March Stone No. 1 in front of St Ninian’s Craigmailen Church on Falkirk Road (just west of the West Port
Hotel) and proceeds in a clockwise direction round the route.
The walk will be led by the provost, flagbearers and the halberdiers of the Deacons Court, and the town crier. At each march stone along the route, a standard is mounted on the stone and a piper will play. The perambulation stops
for refreshments at Linlithgow Canal Centre where walkers will be entertained by Linlithgow Reed Band.
Linlithgow Civic Trust hopes for a supportive turn out this year and look forward to seeing you all.
