Textile artist and curator, Clare Hunter continues her journey through the centuries and across the continents where she uncovers the lives of women and men who have used sewing and embroidery to tell their stories. Today, Clare discovers a quilt created in the harsh conditions of a Japanese POW camp during World War Two. Comprising sixty-six embroidered squares, each one reveals its creator's unique story where resistance, remaining connected to past lives and loves, and preserving a sense of self are poignantly memorialized in thread.
