Introduction    
   

 


A hundred embroiders and millions of stitches have drawn in the threads of history. The story of the Norman arrival in the South East of Ireland and the consequent development of the dynamic port of Ros is depicted in a series of fifteen large striking embroidered panels. From the initiation of a Celtic King to Hiberno-Norman commerce the cultural legacy of Leinster is immortalised in stitches and will hang, when completed on permanent exhibition in New Ross, Co. Wexford.

Beginning as an inspired and ambitious project it is an excellent example of what can be produced when a work of imagination and charm is combined with the dedication and skill of like-minded embroidery enthusiasts. The quality of work is of a very high order; this is achieved through a mix of skill, patience, dedication and an "esprit de corps".
