We’re thrilled to share a new set of progress photos from our Master Stitcher, Harriet Roberts, as she brings the Gawthorpe Bed Hanging to life.
This ambitious project is based on the original Tree of Life design by The Hon. Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth, whose intricate bed hangings are the jewel in the crown of the Gawthorpe Textile Collection. Harriet’s meticulous work captures both the richness of traditional crewelwork and the spirit of Rachel’s original design.
Take a look at how the piece is coming together—it’s a joy to watch this historic design re-emerge, stitch by stitch.
If you’ve been considering the Gawthorpe Bed Hanging kit, now is a wonderful time to commit. Pre-order before the end of August 2025 and you’ll gain exclusive access to Harriet’s bi-monthly Zoom support sessions starting in September.
This is more than just a kit. It’s a chance to stitch your own legacy—and to be part of something truly special. You’ll also spot, just above, a photo of Rachel’s original bed hanging—a powerful reminder of the inspiration and heritage behind this extraordinary project.
