Harlow Carr Embroidery: Autumn and Winter

Harlow Carr Embroidery: Autumn and Winter opens at the RHS Garden Harlow Carr Library on 1 November, with two seasonal embroideries of the garden's borders on display. They're the work of the Richmond & Leyburn Creative Stitchers, and they're showing inside the library at Harlow Carr, the home of the UK's gardening charity.

There's a nice bit of process behind them, too. The stitchers took photographs of the garden and cut them into 48 squares, each of which the two embroiderers interpreted in their own way. Once finished, the pieces were put together like a jigsaw to re-create the whole pictures. It's a bit like seeing the same scene through two different sets of eyes, with the final images built from all those individual takes.

If you're heading over, you'll find them in the library at RHS Garden Harlow Carr on Crag Lane, Harrogate, HG3 1QB. It's free for RHS members, and normal garden admission for non-members. There's no booking required to see the embroideries, and they're on display during library opening hours, 11am to 4pm.
