The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
I read an article in my local weekly newspaper, asking for people
who were interested in doing a cross-stitch picture of places of
interest in Liverpool. I responded to this, and have enjoyed it so
much.
My first piece was ‘The Ferry across the River Mersey’. My father-
in-law was a Captain on the ferries and also I scattered my dear
husband’s ashes from the ferry boat into the Mersey”.
“
John Lennon – The Beatles – was my era which was a special
time in my life as a teenager. I attended the same art college in
Liverpool.” This piece shows the original Speke Airport, now
renamed John Lennon Airport.
