Cross stitch map depicts city's people and places

An artist has embroidered a giant map of Hull featuring the city's people and places.

Miranda van Rossum visited 100 groups and individuals over the last year to produce the Hull in Stitches artwork.

It features a Hull Kingston Rovers rugby game, chip shops and BBC Radio Humberside presenter Kofi Smiles.

Ms van Rossum has raised almost £1,800 for a local food bank and hopes to raise more by selling the tapestry.

"It's not your typical map of Hull," she said

"It's not got lots of landmarks, but it's about good people doing good things."

The s depicting the people and locations are placed across the shape of the city and the Humber Estuary.

Each square has a QR code hidden within it that gives more information on the place or person.

Ms van Rossum has previously produced stitched versions of Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night and a replica of Czech artist Alphonse Mucha's series of s with of women depicting the four seasons.

It is currently on display on selected days in Hull's Danish Church on Ferensway.

After the new artwork is sold Ms van Rossum said she hoped it would go on permanent display somewhere in the city.

"It's been such a lovely experience meeting all these lovely, lovely people," she said.
