Highlights key phases and significant individual makers in Australia's rich quilting heritage. More than eighty extraordinary bed quilts, tea cosies, coverlets, table coverings, rugs and wearable garments demonstrating different approaches to quilting are presented and acknowledged as expressions of love, family, skill, leisure, necessity and making do. This generously illustrated, beautifully produced volume is a celebration of 150 years of Australian quilting and of the aesthetic impact, technical skill and powerful storytelling capacity of this important textile art form. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Ian Potter Centre, NGV Australia, Melbourne, 22 July 2016 - 6 November 2017. Includes bibliographical references.
