Description: | Quilt, hand stitched, on yellow cotton poplin. The hanging takes its theme from the garden & gardeners of Belsay Hall, depicting the tools and early spring flora the maker witnessed on her visit. Centrally positioned are a garden fork and spade, they are surrounded by some early flowering plants in Belsay. the border depicts evergreen foliage. The placing of tools in the centre refer to coats of arms often displayed in tapestries, paintings, shields in prominant positions in old manor houses or halls.
