Some photos from the gallery and my far-flung correspondent Marie.
"This is an extraordinary exhibition of quilts made by military men from their army or naval uniforms. They were made by soldiers, sailors and regimental tailors using richly dyed, felted wools – the military fabrics of the past three-hundred years. They reveal service in the Prussian, Napoleonic, and Crimean wars, and in British India. But of special relevance in this exhibition are the Australian quilts from World Wars I and II, including those made by prisoners of war."
WOW! Fabulous quilts.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous. I have a quilt book from years ago called the 1776 quilt that is kind of similar. Another wool quilt allegedly made from uniforms. I haven’t tackled it, but, I sure enjoy looking at the pattern & reading about the history of the quilt!
