From Calling all Quaker crafters to A real Quaker dog

by Elinor Smallman 13th October 2023

Calling all Quaker crafters!

As readers of the Eye page will have spotted, this year we’ve been including more creative offerings. Eye hopes they’ve been speaking to you, Friends!

Eye is now on the lookout for tips and ideas from those of you who enjoy transforming a humble sheet of paper.

We hope you thoroughly enjoy the pages that the team pour their heart and hard graft into, but we know what happens after these words have been read can vary: some are stored, some recycled, while others are upcycled and given another life.

What could that life be? Decorations, cards, collage, origami, gift wrap, or gifts – simple or complicated – Eye wants to hear what you would make, Friends! And we would love to share the inspiration with readers – so please send any ideas by 13 November to eye@thefriend.org.
