The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

209
Hazel came to the final Tapestry workshop in her capacity as Lord
Mayor of Liverpool. Her secretary had asked if she could put a few
stitches in a piece, but by the time she was part way through her
visit I had managed to persuade her to complete a Superlambanana.
She made a wonderful speech supporting the Tapestry at the
meeting, but was less enthused about her completed square when
she sent it to me….
“
My very pathetic contribution to the Tapestry (a five year old
could have done better). To you and everyone involved, well done
–
what a team!”
This beautiful depiction of part of the Minton tiled floor in St.
Georges Hall commemorates the fact that it was on display in 2008
(
the floor is normally covered, for protection).
