The Rajah Quilt was displayed in the Not Just Ned exhibition and the National Museum of Australia last year. It was wonderful to see this fantastic example of women's work.

The quilt couldn't have been made by a gang of ax murderers, that's for sure. HA!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
