The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
I chose as my second piece The Cavern, as my son went there and
told me about it and I feel it represents Liverpool in 2008
as it is a major part of both music and tourism.
I have gained renewed knowledge about stitching and enjoyed
the pleasant atmosphere and camaraderie each time I went.”
This Superlambanana is inspired by the poem ‘When I am an old
woman, I shall wear purple” by Jenny Joseph. The first few lines of
this poem explains the inspiration for the Lambanana:
“
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
with a red hat that doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
and satin candles, and say we’ve no money for butter.”
