Chesterfield Library Project If you're in Chesterfield, why not call into the Library and see the work by the four branches.Four of the Derbyshire branches have been taking part in this project which is part of a larger project organised by Derbyshire County Council on the theme of "Made in Derbyshire". We made one of the panels. The four completed panels are now hanging in Chesterfield Library. 20 of our members have contributed towards the making of our panel. Photograph: Work in progress laid out on the backing to see how things were going. Photograph: The final stitch. Marie is triumphantly putting the final stitch into the hanging while Jenny holds it. Photographs: Some of the larger images before they were stitched onto the backing fabric. The pieces on the left show George Stephenson (who is buried in Chesterfield) and Queen's Park, Chesterfield. The pieces on the right show Chesterfield Market from the air, The Crooked Spire (Chesterfield) and Bolsover Castle. Photograph left: The completed hanging before ironing and hanging up in Chesterfield Library. Photograph above: Some of the small local pub signs that were used as space fillers on the hanging. There are photographs of all the pieces and a bit about the background of the bigger pieces in one of our photograph albums which you can find in the Gallery. |
