The Bootle Embroidery

I've sent off The Bootle Embroidery back to Bootle Library to receive it's final touches and also get a good iron! I've been working with Our Human Library since September 2018 on a series of workshops. The first was an introduction to embroidery, the second encouraging the Stitch Club to create embroideries inspired by Bootle itself and the third and final workshop was more embroidery and discussing how to pull together the embroideries as a final piece. I embroidered the library and also a portrait of Martin who was an important part of the Our Human Library community and sadly passed away last summer. The Stitch Club runs every fortnight at Bootle Library and is hosted by Our Human Library.
