Home > Quaker tapestry
The Quaker Tapestry consists of 77 panels illustrating the history of Quakerism from the 17th century up to the present day. It was the idea of Anne Wynn-Wilson, a Quaker.
It has a permanent home at the Friends Meeting House at Kendal, Cumbria, England.
4000 men, women and children from 15 countries worked on the panels between 1981 and 1996
The Tapestry is worked in crewel embroidery, and a special Quaker stitch was invented for it.
