Weaving Between the Lines: BC Tapestry on the Edge, 2000, is a contemporary fibre art book and 1998-2000 traveling exhibition created and published by the British Columbia Society of Tapestry Artists (BCStars). The publication highlights innovative regional tapestry works and modern fiber expressions from British Columbia and Alberta, Canada. The final chapter describes BC community tapestry projects 1996 through 2000.

This 5’ x 8’ tapestry was woven by BCStars and the public, with the participation of more than 400 weavers. Created to raise awareness of the work of the Dr. Peter Centre during the AIDS crisis in Vancouver, the tapestry was woven on and displayed at the Vancouver Public Library from July to November 1996. Its design was inspired by Dr. Peter’s Affirmation quote: “From these elements I have come, and to these elements I shall return. The energy that is in me will not be lost.”
