                                        Leeds Tapestry: Community Spirit - Common Purpose

                                        Thursday, 15 March 2012. Community Spirit - Common Purpose. Kate and I have just been interviewed by James, a student at Leeds Met, who is writing a piece about the Tapestry on the University web magazine. This reminded me that one of the factors which led to Kate instigating such a huge project was 'Common Purpose'. A precursor of Mr Cameron's big society. The embroidered logo is one of the few on the panels which was executed using a domestic computerised sewing machine. Posted by Leeds Tapestry.

                                        Leeds Tapestry: Community Spirit - Jane Hustwitt
                                        http://leedstapestry.blogspot.com/2012/03/community-spirit-jane-hustwitt.html
                                        Saturday, 17 March 2012. Community Spirit - Jane Hustwitt. Jane was a participant in Common Purpose (see Wednesday's entry). The embroidery was machine and hand stitched on printed fabric by Janet Taylor. The observant will realise that below the knees the piece is untouched. The lower legs are hidden on the Community Spirit panel and embroidering them, and other covered pieces would have made the final result too bulky. Posted by Leeds Tapestry.

                                        Monday, 26 March 2012. Transport - Eades Reversible Car No. 58. This is from a photograph taken in about 1890 of the Eades Reversible Car No. 58 at Headingley terminus. Three of these trams were supplied to Leeds but were never popular due to the narrowness of the roads at the tram termini. At Chapeltown terminus the car overhung the pavement by over 5 feet when being turned and accidents were not uncommon. Seating was stated to be 18 inside and 20 outside upstairs.

                                        Thursday, 23 September 2010. Arts for All - Town Hall. On the Arts for All panel there's an embroidery of the interior of the Victoria Hall, within the Town Hall, hand stitched by Gill Cooke. Directly influenced by Liverpool's St George's Hall. And indirectly by the Baths of Caracalla. The basilican form is expressed by coupled Corinthian columns and pilasters separating the bays'.

                                        Caro and the gulls. A blog about what makes me tick, my home island of Guernsey, sewing, making things and food! Friday, 28 October 2016. A brilliant commission came my way this summer,. One that got me excited and inspired,. A moment of thinking why hadn't I thought of something like that! A close friend of a very old friend of mine was leaving the island. And so she (and the rest of their gang) wanted to give. Her and her family something to remember their time here. Some the things featured included.
