The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
I joined the project as I have been stitching for many years and
felt it quite an honour to be included in this great Liverpool project.
I feel a sense of pride that a part of me will still be here on display
in the city I love so much, long after I have gone.
Billy Fury was the first design I stitched – he was a little before my
time, but I learnt about him after visiting his statue at the Albert
Dock, which is a really good representation of him.”
“
I chose to do Dickie Mint as I wanted to include something to
do with the great Doddy, and remember watching and loving the
Diddy Men as a child.”
