“
I joined the Tapestry project with a group of old school friends,
and we decided to represent different aspects of our old school,
Holly Lodge. I had never done this type of work before, although I
did a lot of embroidery years ago.
My piece of work was our school badge, and I would like to think
that in years to come, my grandchildren and their families may see
this piece and hopefully be proud of my effort. I really enjoyed
being involved, and met so many pleasant and interesting people.
Thank you to everyone for this great opportunity.”
“
I had never done any tapestry work before, but came along with
my wife to the first few meetings and, seeing what everyone was
doing, thought ‘I might like to have a go at that’. I figured that if I
made a mess of it I didn’t have to hand it in. This first piece took
me over a year to finish!
Huskisson Street is special to both my wife Susie and myself, as
this was where my first flat was and the place we first lived together
when we were married. It still feels like ‘home’.”
