Gill Roberts - The Liverpool 08 Tapestry

Recommendations

Info

The Liverpool Skyline Designed by Elsie Watkins Stitched by Gill Roberts (with assistance of David Roberts, Jan Scott and Sheilagh Birch). This piece forms the ‘title page’ of the Tapestry, announcing both what the work is to commemorate and the iconic World Heritage skyline of the city. As such, it was the single biggest piece of work, representing the equivalent of twenty 6” squares and which took the whole of the period of the workshops (and then some!) to complete. Due to the fact that I fractured my shoulder and sustained an injury to my right hand in the process, which put me out of commission as far as stitching was concerned for about 3 months, David, Jan and Sheilagh helped with the time-consuming tent stitch used for the lettering. The final design shows the city skyline and the stylised waves to illustrate the history of the port, with the blazing sky reflecting the city’s moment of glory as European Capital of Culture 2008. 16 | The Liverpool Tapestry: People, Places and Passions
Two Liver Birds Designed by Elsie Watkins Stitched by Pauline Roberts and Hilary McCormack. These two mirrored images were chosen to show Liverpool’s famous symbol, and to marry in with the skyline image, which they are so much a part of. Unlike their usual representation, they are shown with their feet in water to reflect their maritime association. The Liverpool Tapestry: People, Places and Passions | 17
