Ever since the early days of the colonisation of Australia the Religious
Society of Friends (Quakers) have had a part in bringing peace and
justice to those in Australia. Quakers have used the Tapestry foimat
to tell the stories of Friends past and present and how they responded
to the Light within.
The Australian Quaker Tapestry Project seeks to rediscover
the stories through community involvement in helping make
our own tapestries.
We have been inspired by the development of the British Quaker
Tapestry at Kendall which informs and promotes 350 years of Quaker
values and has been a worldwide community project. Friends who
have seen it are full of praise for its beauty and marvelous record
of important events.
We seek to now tell our own Australian stories with needleworkers
to make their very own tapestry of the history of Quaker values
and accomplishments in Australia.
