Threads through the Bible exhibition at Ely Cathedral
Details
Threads through the Bible is an astonishing, inspiring exhibition of textile art. With spectacular designs, brilliant colours and extraordinary stitching, you’re taken on a journey through the Old and New Testaments via the medium of embroidery.
Why not join Caroline at Ely Cathedral to view what is probably the largest ever textile project by a single person. There are 44 huge spectacular panels, each almost 3m high and up to 4m wide. If all the panels were laid out side by side, they’d stretch more than 80 metres.
Artist Jacqui Parkinson has been fascinated by the Bible and its stories for fifty years – and now in the last ten years has been stitching the panels in her studio in Devon, using over 25 million stitches.

We will meet outside the main door of Ely Cathedral at 11am and will probably go for lunch afterwards
