Quilts, rugs and waggas made in Sydney, brought to Sydney, about Sydney. This exhibition told the stories behind a rare selection of Australian quilt survivors: their makers, their histories, their fabrics and their craftmanship. Utilitarian or extravagant, old or new, these quilts wear their journeys with modesty and pride. Coincided with the Sydney Quilt Festival.
