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".
