Leeds Tapestry: Community Spirit - Common Purpose
http://leedstapestry.blogspot.com/2012/03/community-spirit-common-purpose.html
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. ALL S...

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.

Leeds Tapestry: Transport - Eades Reversible Car No. 58
http://leedstapestry.blogspot.com/2012/03/transport-eades-reversible-car-no-58.html
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.

http://leedstapestry.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 19 February 2011. Leeds in Bloom - Harewood Estate. It's snowing again in Leeds today, though it looks wet enough not to last. This piece of embroidery was hand and machine stitched on printed fabric by Janet Taylor and comes from a photograph taken on the Harewood Estate. Needle weaving using a wire framework was the technique used to embroidery these leaves. Those above made by Margaret Foxcroft, and those below by Muriel Gabbitas. Posted by Leeds Tapestry.
