The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

A geographical map showing the extent of the city of Liverpool,
and the two tunnels to the Wirral side of the Mersey.
“
After seeing the advert in the Wirral Globe I joined the
Tapestry project because I had so enjoyed the Capital of Culture
celebrations during 2008 – it highlighted the city in such a good
way with numerous events and activities to enjoy.
My father is from Liverpool, and I have always had a close affinity
with the city even though I live on the other side of the Mersey.
I have been sewing since I was a child and have undertaken
embroidery and some canvas work, although not a lot. I managed
to make three pieces, all from my own photographs.
I love the sea and all connected with it so my first piece was of
the 2008 Round the World Clipper sailing in front of the Tobacco
Warehouse.”
