The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
“
This was an attempt at something different, and which displays
the name of the Tate Gallery at the Albert Dock, where the superb
Klimt exhibition was held in 2008.
The shared friendship of our Saturday sessions, the rewarding
experience of learning a new skill, and the generous help and
encouragement from the members of the Guild are things that
I shall long remember.”
“
I discovered the Tapestry project through a chance meeting with
Ruby Porter at one of her exhibitions at Calderstones Park. I have
completed a few cross-stitch embroideries but have never before
undertaken embroidery where you decide on the scene, colours
and type of stitch. The scene I chose is personal to my family as
the Storrsdale pub is where we congregate and enjoy a few beers
together. To me this represents the nuclear family and the strong
family ties in Liverpool and how this continues to be important for
the next generations of families.”
