"My
Garden" by Margaret King
Margaret
King was born in 1906 in Stanraer, Scotland. She went
to Glasgow Art College when she was 18 years old and
also attended the Royal School of Needlework in London.
During World War I, Margaret met Peter King, who was
a Lt. Colonel in the Canadian Army and they married in
Halifax, Nova Scotia. Margaret raised three children
and in her spare time she enjoyed gardening, knitting,
sewing clothes and needlepoint.
As
Margaret painted this beautiful tapestry, she described
each brush stroke as if she was planting a flower and
patiently she filled her garden.
