The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
“
As I was in the army and was born in Scotland I chose to stitch
this in the tartan worn by the Liverpool Scottish Regiment.”
“
This piece of work – Gladstone’s birthplace in Rodney Street
–
had been started by someone else and I was asked if I could
complete it, which I was happy to do.
All the pieces I stitched span the years from Victorian times to the
present day. I think that to represent Liverpool in 2008 you have
to look both back and forward to appreciate all that Liverpool has
now and will achieve in the future.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the last two years and have gained new
skills and new friends, especially members of the ‘noisy table’!
Thank you to Joe, the Embroidery Guild Members and anyone
who had anything to do with Tapestry 08, and who made this
project possible.”
