National Tapestry Project
Inspired by a love of our country’s beauty and the desire to see it rendered in needlework, Judy Jeroy’s dream of a national tapestry was developed. The National tapestry has been a work in progress for the past four years. The Tapestry will hang at National Headquarters and be displayed at venues and exhibits around the country.
Five panels were designed and painted on #18 count mono canvas. Each panel was assigned a coordinator to facilitate the finishing. No techniques were excluded in the stitching of each panel, which represents certain geographic features and indigenous objects, animals, birds, and plants throughout the country. To date literally thousands have stitched on the five panels.
Follow the progress and development of the tapestry through the following articles from Needle Arts magazine.
