Threads Through Time is a textiles exhibition with a difference. Explore the stories of 12 retired and serving female sailors through the squares they have individually hand-crafted using fabric, buttons, and braids from old Navy uniforms.

The 49 squares have been sewn into a quilt and form the centre piece of the exhibition.
