Fort Anne is a four -star fort that was built to protect the harbor of Annapolis Royal, NS. All attacks brought on by the French in the early stages of King George’s War were repelled here. If you look at the points of the fort, this insured there were no blind spots.
The tapestry below was created by Kiyoko Grenier-Sago. It celebrates 400 years of Annapolis Royal, NS. Parks Canada had a competition, Kiyoko submitted the print. She won the contest. There were over 100 stitchers and it took 10 years to complete this project. First you had to practice on a separate piece and then when your stitches were “just right” you could stitch on the panel. The neat thing is the bus drivers in town stitched the school bus, the city officials stitched city hall, Queen Elizabeth added a few gold stitches to the Queen Mother, sailors stitched on the sailing vessels and so on. The completed piece is 8′ tall x 24′ long.
