With our group spending time studying tapestries, we realized that our group historically has done several group projects that one could describe as tapestries. Yes, yes, we know that these may not fit the strict definition of tapestries, but nevertheless those tapestries brought members together to stitch lasting legacies.

In coming posts we will talk about some of those projects that our group produced, what has happened to them, and where they can be seen now.

We will start off with North Shore Reflections, a tryptic depicting the activities of the area known as the North Shore of Vancouver, BC. and currently housed in the Museum of North Vancouver’s Archives.

We will cover the construction of the Centennial Wall Hanging created by 121 stitchers and currently hangs at the North Vancouver Centennial Theatre.

We are searching our archives for information about a series of seven panels created by our members for display at Evergreen House, a complex care facility.

And last by not least the Canadian Tapestry which currently resides in Ottawa at Rideau Hall, the official residence of both the governor general of Canada and the Canadian monarch.
