Dornoch SWRI, Sutherland Federation Golden Jubilee Cushion

Date Added: 03 February 2022 Year: 1978 Institution Name: dnhhl Cat No: | 2022_018_01 | Picture No: 14917

Colour photograph and description of an air force blue square cushion, measuring 16" x 17" made in the mid 1970s by Patricia Stewart Fitzroy, President of the Institute at that time. The tapestry cushion face is worked in air force blue, cream and gold, depicting the SWRI badge and commemorates the Golden Jubilee of the Institute in 1976 and Sutherland Federation in 1978. The back and sides are beautifully finished in a matching blue woollen worsted material. It was made to fit a handcrafted large wooden chair which was made locally and given to the Institute, although none of the present members knows when or by whom it was gifted. Unfortunately the chair was disposed of several years ago, without the SWRI being advised, when it was found to have woodworm during a refurbishment of the hall where meetings are held.
