At the end of St Augustine's annual sale on 9th November the completed tapestries were handed over:
The Peace Bridge Tapestry gifted to the people of Derry to hang in the Guildhall.
The Long Tower Tapestry gifted to Aras Colmcille to hang in the new Colmcille interpretation centre.
The Promise Chalice Tapestry gifted to St Columb's Cathedral to hang in the Cathedral.
The Ferryquay Gate tapestry gifted to The Apprentice Boys to hang in their new visitor centre.
The First Derry Presbyterian Tapestry gifted to First Derry Presbyterian Church
The Derry Walls Tapestry gifted to The Honourable the Irish Society.
But St Augustine's Derry Weave is not finished yet! Look out for The Derry Weave book with pictures of all tapestries and designs collated together along with recipes for the fabulous soups served at The Big Eats pop-up cafe. Available from St Augustine's in time for Christmas!
In 2014 the legacy continues - a trail leaflet will be produced to guide you to all seven tapestries proudly displayed in their new homes.
