The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
Following the article in the local newspaper, some fellow WI
friends started talking about going to one of the meetings in Ullet
Road to find out more. What a lovely surprise we had when we
arrived – everyone was so friendly and happy to discuss and show
their beautiful work and offer valuable advice. Although I had
done some canvas work before, I could not say I was anywhere
near an expert, but I decided I would really like to contribute to the
tapestry. I decided that I would like to attempt a Superlambanana,
as I had really enjoyed going to see them around Merseyside. I
finally settled on the Union Jack design, mainly because of the bold
colours.
My overall lasting memory of being part of the Tapestry project
is the unstinting friendship and helpfulness of everyone at the
monthly meetings, and my admiration when watching various
tapestries develop from a plain piece of canvas into a beautiful
work of art.”

I decided to show Aigburth Cricket Club, as it is where my
husband spent many happy hours when he used to run the under
11’
s Liverpool city Cricket Team.”
