Jennifer Kirker stitched a lockdown memoir of life under Covid-19.
The fruits of lockdown labour will be on display this month, when Warkworth Embroiderers hold their biennial exhibition of work at the town’s Masonic Lodge, off the Baxter Street carpark.
The group of around 25 sewers will be displaying all-new pieces made in the past two years, many of which were conceived and created when Covid-19 struck last year. The coronavirus concentrated the minds of several members, giving pause for thought as well as extra time for stitching during the long weeks of lockdown.
