Q for Queen's Gardens, was a privilege to make. A unique piece representing a place meaning something different to so many individuals.

Formally Queen's Dock (1778 - 1930). It was filled in and transformed into a park (1930 - 1935) featuring flower gardens and fountains.

Recently undergoing multi million renovation to include sustainable drainage and biodiversity.

An opportunity to get creative with eclectic mix of materials (many recycled) and skills. Incorporating traditional and modern. Everyone took on an element of the design...

Old curtains (frame and path). 72 knitted squares (grass/ base) of various stitches. and textures. Colourful mix and design of flowers (Rose Bowl). Fountain, back stitched with embellishments added. The Cheese Grater (Solar Gate) piece of lace to represent this sundial and it's transparency.

The BBC studios are housed within Queen's Gardens and the teddy bear's picnic is an acknowledgement of this.

Featuring 'Kofi Bear' it's a tribute to Radio Humberside Breakfast Show presenter Kofi Smiles. He is very positive about Queen's Gardens and was the Face of Hull during City of Culture 2017.
