The Quaker Tapestry consists of 77 panels illustrating the history of Quakerism from the 17th century up to the present day. The idea of Quaker Anne Wynn-Wilson, the tapestry has a permanent home at the Friends Meeting House at Kendal, Cumbria, England.

4000 men, women and children from 15 countries worked on the panels between 1981 and 1996. The Tapestry is worked in crewel embroidery, and a special Quaker stitch was invented for it.
