A PATCHWORK tapestry of West Fife's rich history that was made to mark the millennium is back on display.
The wonderful creation that was lovingly crafted by the Dunfermline Quilters is currently on show at the Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries (DCLG).
Seven of the current guild members were at the venue to see the quilt back on show with curator Jane Freel.
Among them, Mary Thornton, who made the ‘Inchcolm’ square said: “It’s lovely to see the Millenium Quilt back home in the place it was made for.”
Famous names, familiar faces and much-loved places abound in the city-based craft guild’s homage to its home patch.
Included are historical heroes with local connections – with Saint Margaret, Robert the Bruce and Andrew Carnegie taking pride of place.
Local landmarks including Dunfermline Abbey, Inchcolm and the Forth Bridge are there too.
Also featured is a peacock from Dunfermline Glen, Charlestown Limeworks and the Queen Anne Gates at Donibristle House.
The quilt takes pride of place above the fireplace on the venue’s ground floor, having last been displayed at the library in 2014.
Formed in 1992, the Quilters are still going strong, with four original members and a second generation, including Fiona Campbell, daughter of founder member and first president, Pat Murdoch.
They welcome new members to join them in quilting, knitting and other crafts for charitable projects around Fife.
Current president Joyce Booker added: “Feel free to drop in to our meetings on Friday mornings at Touch Community Centre.
"Or email dunfermlinequilters@gmail.com for further information.”
