I just wanted to make you aware of this remarkable piece of Australian history: a quilt made on board a convict ship.
I like to imagine the conversations around this coverlet as a motley crew of women put the more than 2800 pieces together on their way to a frightening new life on the other side of the world from everything familiar to them. http://nga.gov.au/RajahQuilt/ |
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for sharing...I absolutely love this quilt!! Look at it...points are cut off, the borders are ruffled...and it's a National Treasure !!!!!!!! :) The quilt police can put THAT in their pipes and smoke it!! ;)

Are there pattern books/cds available like with the Dear Jane quilt? That's something that I would possibly be interested in reproducing.
