The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
“
As a Support Worker, I am always looking for new challenges for
my Service User [Philomena Daly, who also took part], so when I
saw the advert for the Tapestry project I wrote for details.
I am not a stitcher, but at the first meeting was given a
Superlambanana along with all the relevant materials, plus an
abundance of help and advice – and I was hooked! “
“
The second piece I chose to do was the Echo Arena because it is
a new and exciting part of Liverpool’s entertainment culture, and a
wonderful addition to the city’s waterfront.
I have been overwhelmed by the courtesies, help and advice shown
to me at each meeting, not to mention making new friends and
being over-awed at the beautiful pieces of work done by fellow
stitchers. The whole exercise has been thoroughly enjoyable,
leading to my going to embroidery and tapestry exhibitions.
Well done to the organisers, and of course Mr Morris of Home
Bargains, for undertaking a wonderful project which will be saved
for posterity, enriching all who view it!”
