It’s a Wrap! Unveiling the Finished WI Scarf Design…
Therese Mageean’s beautiful winning artwork has now been brought to life as a modern ladies fashion scarf – and it’s stunning!
Lesley was delighted with how the scarf turned out and commented, “Last year we ran a new Federation Competition and challenged our members to come up with a design for an original and fashionable Federation scarf. The competition brief stated that the design must incorporate the WI farm gate and the flax flower that is synonymous with Northern Ireland. However, these were both to be incorporated subtly into the design. Our winning member, Therese Mageean from Saintfield WI has come up with a beautiful interpretation of ‘A Countrywoman’s Song’ in a watercolour landscape. She has depicted The Mountains of Mourne, a cottage, and the farm gate, all overlaid with the image of the flax flower and washed in the soft blues and pink of an evening sky.”
Aware of sustainable fashion, the Donegal based design and print company Pixalili printed Therese’s design on to a soft, eco-friendly cotton muslin to produce a lovely, lightweight, wraparound scarf that can be worn in a variety of ways.
Wear your scarf with pride and showcase the Women’s Institute to everyone you meet!
