The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
I joined the project because a friend told me about it, and I
thought it would be an amazing thing to be part of the history of
the town where I was born, and produce something that people
could look at in years to come and see what Liverpool was like
in the year 2008, much like they do with the Bayeux Tapestry.
I have done a lot of needlework and embroidery over the
years, but never any canvas work so this was a new venture for
me. I chose to do the library because it seemed significant as a
place anyone can go to find anything out about Liverpool and
the world, in a quiet environment where the old and the new
exist side by side. I gained a lot of new friends and a sense
of community from working in the project and a great sense
of achievement and pride on finishing the piece and being
allowed to be part of such an enormous public project.”
