The Christie Quilt

19th December, 2013

Many Hands Make Patchwork: The Christie Quilt

This new project on Scran documents a quilt (or patchwork bedspread) which is made up of nearly 100 squares. Each individual square has been embroidered by a different girl and shows her name or initials. It is believed that the quilt was put together by school teacher, Isabella Forsyth Christie (1865-1933), whose initials also appear on a square. Isabella came from Elgin in Moray and taught at schools named on the quilt - Heisker, Lochmaddy and Kinloch Rannoch.

In more recent years, the quilt was discovered in Aberfeldy in Perth and Kinross and taken to Kinloch Rannoch Primary School in 2005. It has been used by storytellers Ruth Atkinson and Claire Hewitt working on a storytelling project in the region, and has also been exhibited in North Uist. The quilt is now deposited with National Museums Scotland.

As well continuing to provide a great stimulus for storytelling and reminiscence, these records may be of interest to textile historians as well as family and local historians with connections to the Western Isles and Highland Perth and Kinross.
