The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
This was my first piece for the Tapestry, and I enjoyed
experimenting with the stitches to produce a texture. Part of this
was the challenge of creating an ear for the lamb, which was not
just an outline. It took a little while but I am really pleased with the
result.”
“
I was brought up in the Knotty Ash area of Liverpool, near to
where Ken Dodd lives, and remember with great fondness his
creations ‘The Diddymen’. The character of Mick the Marmaliser
was reputed locally to be based on a tramp that lived in the Knotty
Ash area!”
