The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
“
As I had recently moved back to Merseyside, I was looking for an
interest and to meet new people. After reading the article about
the Tapestry Project in the paper I realised that this was the ideal
opportunity.
Not having done any canvas work before and only minimal amount
of stitching since leaving school this project would be a challenge.
I managed to complete six pieces of work in the two years and I’m
really pleased with what I achieved.
I chose to do the Everton Water Tower as my first piece of work as
I thought it looked easy to do! It’s also a landmark building that I
can see from where I live on the Wirral.”
“
I stitched this as I enjoyed visiting the Festival in 1984 with my
family. It seemed to be at a time that Liverpool was changing
for the better.”
