Here are some inspirational textile pieces I have seen today in Dumfries Museum
Book of fly hooks for salmon and trout fishing. These were used on the river Annan in 1860. I love the way someone has sewn pockets into the book for the hooks.
Tiny practice pieces sewn on to pages within a portfolio format. These illustrate the remarkable skills acquired by young girls during their "education"
A 1989 Japanese book on on Sanquhar knitting
