The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
For my second piece I chose the Maritime Museum with the
anchor in the foreground as this had been part of my ex-husband’s
life, as he was employed by Harrison Line as an officer in the
Merchant Navy. Although I am now divorced I have some good
memories about his time in the Merchant Navy. The other thing
that made me do this piece was that my step-father-in-law was the
son of Mr Donald Blair, who was the officer that stepped off the
Titanic before it sailed on its fateful voyage and so there is also
another connection with Liverpool there.”
“
For my next piece, I was asked to finish a piece started by Maria
Sessford, a lady who was unable to complete it because of the
arthritis in her hands. This was the Granada Television Studios,
which I enjoyed doing this as I quite enjoyed doing the brickwork
and paving stones.”
