Good Morning lovely quilt friends! I'm going to leave you with a couple of links today.
Did you know there is an Australian Quilt Register?
The National Quilt Register is an online database and central resource for the Australian quilting community. It provides digital access to quilts held in public and private collections throughout Australia. The quilts on the register vary in age, style, materials, manufacture, function and provenance. They hold important stories about the history and heritage of quilts and quilt making in Australia.
If you will be part of the USA that will be experiencing extreme heat for the next several days you may want to be inside looking for quilt inspiration. Check out the website HERE.

The Australian crib quilt is darling, looks like one I'd love to make. Thankfully it is not hot here US east coast [yet] 60s, 70s. Hand sewing on the deck and beach are planned. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post, sharing Australia's quilting history with your readers in the US. Thank you. Carolyn
