She did. We had an exhibition of some of the work in Australia (Melbourne) in 1992 of work that was done over a150 years period, with photos of work sent from the Australian and British guilds to the Royal Family. A tapestry has been sent as a gift to every queen since Australia’s founding. I have sent an email to the AUS guild, if I can get photos I will post them.
