The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
“
I saw the feature in the local newspaper about the proposed
Tapestry to celebrate the ‘Capital of Culture 2008’. Being new to
the area I thought it a good way of making friends. My love of
needlework started at school where we were taught all kinds of
stitching, but not tapestry.
I was aware of “liverpoolreads.com’ through volunteering at the
Bluecoat and decided to illustrate the book covers of the two
books chosen by ‘The Reader Organization’ for 2008. This is the
first – ‘Tamar’.”
“’
Keeper’, also by Mal Peet, was one of the books which were free in
schools, libraries, community centres, elderly persons groups, and the
Bluecoat. The aim – to get as many people, young and old, to read
and discuss the books – was assisted by Mal Peet making many visits
to read and talk about the books with various groups.”
