The Federation Wallhanging!

Spent many, many hours at Steamtown in Peterborough.

Again with a personal tour, a shame we were there in the morning

and would miss the sound and light show only on in the evenings.

 

Another must see in Peterborough is The Federation Wallhanging.

A project that took over 2000 hours of research,planning, sewing,

reviewing and the ineitable unpicking when something

just didn’t look right, by 18 local women.

The wallhanging depiccts the town, with a likeness to many of the buildings.

In the top right hand corner is The Royal Flying Docter Service plane. (RFDS)

A vital service to many of these country towns.
