The Embroiderers Guild Queensland Inc, in Brunswick Street in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley dedicates a group of women to the practice of embroidery and needlework.

 

To celebrate the guild’s 50th birthday, an exhibit will be showcased inside the heritage-listed building.

This display will include a compilation of embroidery squares from the 500 members.

 

The unique Queensland message portrayed through the artwork is prominent, showcasing native fauna such as Capricorn Coral, brolgas, Coolamon trees and mountains.

 

Some of the collection dates from the 1600s onwards, and continues to grow as it develops works from its current members.
