The larger, commemorative embroideries were often created around a war/victory theme (such as the Bayeux tapestry, the Battle of Maldon commemorative embroidery; Overlord embroidery and the Jersey Occupation tapestry). Other forms celebrate religious (the Quaker tapestry) or secular themes (the Guernsey tapestry, the Rhodesian tapestry and the New World tapestry). All of these ‘tapestries’ are in fact embroideries of various forms. A very 'modern' commemorative piece is the Battle of Hardhome embroidery, referring to an episode in the Game of Thrones series, or the Game of Thrones tapestry made in Northern Ireland.
