The large embroidery wall hanging project that was completed by members of the former Dumfries & District branch of the Embroiderers Guild, many of whom are members of TED, is on display along with the main Galloway Hoard itself, in Kirkcudbright Galleries until 10th July 2022. The hanging can be found in the space that used to house the cafe.

Branch members were asked to stitch squares inspired either by Celtic styles, or by the treasures found within the Hoard itself, many of which are gold.
