The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
“
I decided to stitch this piece to show
the beautiful Burne-Jones windows
in the church which is one of the
meeting places of the Merseyside
Branch of the Embroiderers’ Guild.
Burne-Jones, a member of the Pre-
Raphaelite Brotherhood, designed
several church windows in Liverpool
that were made up by Morris and Co.,
William Morris’s company.
I also liked the idea that a beautiful
piece of art, produced by Morris and
Co., is represented in a beautiful piece
craftsmanship that is the Liverpool
Tapestry, sponsored by T.J. Morris
Ltd. The same name carrying on a
tradition of honouring craftsmanship
and creativity!”
