The Ros tapestry stitchers have been convinced to stitch two more tapestries. One is called Unity and is a connection between Ireland and the European Union.
The explanation to the Unity Tapestry.
A painting of the Unity Tapestry that is used as the template for producing the new project. Notice all the flags of the European Union encircling the oval.
The second project is called coming home and is a connection between Ireland and the USA. Many Irish people fled to the USA during the famine. This project called Coming Home is about an elderly woman being reunited with her niece from America to share the family history and memorabilia.
Details about the Coming Home Tapestry.
The painted template used to produce the tapestry. Notice the flags of all the states encircling the oval. All the states flowers are included in the garden area. This is a very personal tapestry. The artist is seen sitting with her great aunt from Ireland, along with her husband and child. The aunts husband and young child, both dead, are seen as ghost images within the garden. (Ghost images will be too hard to see in this photo. Sorry,)
Detail on the Coming Home Tapestry has begun. These are traditional Irish surnames of families that fled during the famine. They are located in the bottom of the oval in the grass and water area, so they will all be stitched in greens and blues. Gorgeous work!!
