CONSERVATION CONSIDERATIONS

National Museum conservators Robin Tait, Anne I'Ons, Carmela Mollica and Judith Andrewartha worked with the guild embroiderers and designer Sharon Peoples to create the Crimson Thread of Kinship.

The conservators assisted with selecting materials for the embroidery, washing and preparing the linen and, when stitching was complete, mounting each panel onto a handcrafted wooden frame.

The conservation process ensured that the embroidery will be preserved for future generations to enjoy.
