This Superlambanana was stitched by a member of the Young
Embroiderers’ Guild, Chloe. It shows a wonderful range of stitches
and colours, and is one of the brightest Lambs we have
in the Tapestry.
“
I joined the Tapestry project in response to an article in a
local newspaper requesting help from volunteers. No previous
experience was required which reassured me, as I was a complete
beginner.
The object of the Tapestry to represent Liverpool in 2008. I
immediately thought of the Superlambananas that were a special
feature of the year, which were so colourful and incorporated many
aspects of the city’s life and architecture. Travelling frequently to
Liverpool by ferryboat over the years, I have always admired the
buildings on the waterfront. This led to my first choice of the
‘24
hours Superlambanana’, as it featured not only the Liverpool
skyline but also two small river boats.”
