The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
“
I wanted to do something colourful. This piece brought back
memories of them all on show on St. George’s Plateau.
Everyone that I have met with joining this group has been very
welcoming and helpful. It was very interesting to see that we all
worked different canvases.
Many thanks to Mr Morris for the buffet that he laid on for us at
the Walker Gallery – it was very enjoyable. I just can’t wait to see
the finished project.”
“
Two of my friends and I saw an article on the Tapestry project,
and we thought it was a wonderful opportunity to become involved
in what will hopefully become part of the history
of Liverpool. This is my home town, and to leave something
I have stitched, as part of an exhibition, to be viewed by not only
Liverpudlians, but also possibly people from other countries and
cultures is amazing!
When I first thought about my ‘Lamb’ I wanted a happy picture
to reflect how I feel about my life here in Liverpool – hence the
smiley face! It has been lovely to attend the monthly meetings at
the church, and to admire the beautiful and elaborate work stitched
by others.
I hope that in years to come the completed work will still be
“
on show” somewhere for all the grandchildren and great
grandchildren of everyone taking part to see and say “my
gran did a bit of that.”
