Twelve embroidered panels that took three years to stitch are making their way to Truro Cathedral in Cornwall.
The panels, measuring 8ft (2.4m) by up to 13ft (4m) each, are made of eight million stitches.
The exhibition is set to open at the cathedral on Tuesday until 20 August.
The Threads though Creation event will take members of the public through the creation story “day” by “day”. It begins with elemental designs and takes the public into the Garden of Eden. The panels were designed by Devon based textile artist Jacqui Parkinson.
The exhibition will be open to the public during the cathedral’s opening hours. Threads through Creation makes up one third of a larger exhibition called Threads through the Bible, which premiered in Liverpool in January and is set to tour England through 2025 and 2026. Threads through the Bible is made up of Threads through Creation, Threads through the Cross and Threads through Revelation. (BBC)
