It culminated in the creation of the collaborative tapestry blending Scottish tartan with Zambian chitenge fabric. Elaine McGinlay, one of the organisers, said: “It was bigger and better than we could ever have imagined. “It was such a lot of fun. “There were people there from the local Parish but many others who had never been to a SCIAF event before. “We are delighted with the final tapestry, which contained designs from everyone there. “It really is a truly international collaboration and a celebration of Scottish/Zambian connections. “Many thanks to the National Lottery Awards for All Scotland – their support allowed us to provide a free creche so mums and dads could relax and enjoy the day.” Read more Glasgow MSPs and former MPs join charity football tournament for SCIAF Vulnerable pensioners 'upset' after heartless vandals attack lifeline buses Mum and daughter to tackle 'hardest triathlon on the planet' for Maggie's Glasgow The event, which celebrated the joys of fabric, fun and friendship, was hailed as a great success by those who took part. One attendee, Celia, said: “I came along because I'm interested in textiles and the African ones in particular. “My godmother always sent me things from Kenya and I have a lifelong wish to go back there. “I loved all the creativity - it's a wonderful thing.” Louise, another attendee, added: “I came because I thought it would be a really fun, tactile thing to do with my hands; to be creative and alleviate some stress.”
