The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
This horse and jockey circular design is featured on the perimeter
railing around Aintree Racecourse, which is near to where I live.
The road sign also comes from near the course too.”
“
My very last piece of work which I decided to do of my last
workshop after the girls on our table thought it would be a nice
idea for our ‘Naughty Table’ to be ‘named and shamed! These girls
have now become my friends, and now that the project has finished
we are continuing to keep in touch, and some of us have gone on
to join the Embroiderers’ Guild together.
Most of the pieces I chose to do for the tapestry were of buildings
or places in Liverpool, or things that are associated with the city
such as the Grand National, but there were also my three own
Lambanana designs.
I‘m very grateful that the sponsors Home Bargains and also the
organisers from the Guild gave us all the opportunity to take part
in a really enjoyable experience. I can’t wait to see the completed
Tapestry when it is finally on display.”
