RSN Bayeux Tapestry Greeting Card - Edwards Palace

To celebrate the return of the Bayeux Tapestry to England for the first time in nearly 1,000 years, the Royal School of Needlework has created four designs Inspired by iconic scenes from this extraordinary 11^th Century medieval masterpiece.

This design is inspired by the very first panel in The Bayeux Tapestry. The facade of a highly decorated palace, possibly Winchester or Westminster shows a crowned King Edward peering out of a doorway. The palace brickwork shows a diaper pattern and the roof tiles are embroidered individually in a small version of Bayeux Stitch. The first panel of the Bayeux Tapestry has been extensively restored. Patches of linen can be seen with various elements including lettering restitched by conservators.
