People, Places and Passions

“
My daughter and I heard about the Tapestry project from our
sewing group. We have been stitching for many years, but have not
done any canvas work – this is our first time. The piece we chose
to do represents Edge Hill Railway Station, this being the oldest
Railway in the world. It opened on 15th September 1836 and is still
in use today, a very important part of Liverpool history.
We have really enjoyed taking part, meeting other people who
perhaps have never done any stitching and yet coming up with
lovely ideas.”
“
I helped with a piece of work for the Tapestry and enjoyed it, so
I thought I would have a go at doing one myself. The Lambananas
were such a success around the city I decided this would be my
project. Taking part has given me a lot of pleasure and confidence.”
