If you missed the exhibition at Manly
Art Gallery
in Sydney where 35,000 people viewed this stunning
quilt exhibition of wartime quilts, curated by Dr Annette Gero, it will be on
in Melbourne
for four days in April.
These are extraordinary Woollen Quilts - all made by men
from their uniforms, dating from 1800 to 1950, and pieced in a myriad of tiny
pieces (some quilts have 15,000 pieces). A collection of such quilts has never
been shown before and their design and colour are mesmerizing. Not to be
missed. Annette has written a book to go with the exhibition which will
be on sale at the show
