Australian Quaker Narrative Embroidery Project

Exhibition of Panels

The purpose  of the Friends in Stitches Committee is to coordinate, encourage and grow the Australian Narrative Embroidery project. As of today we have twenty four completed panels and another ten in progress. We envisage at least forty, but we have enough fabric for seventy. 

A panel begins with the ideas. Then follows research and the creation of a design using images and text. The completed cartoon is drawn onto calico and tacked onto the woollen fabric ready  for the stitching of the embroidery. The finished embroideries are mounted and then displayed in Quaker Meetings and other venues around Australia.
