PUSHING BOUNDARIES...
THE THEN & NOW OF AUSTRALIAN QUILTS
Kathy Doughty
Friday, July 12 – Approximately 6:30 pm
Kathy will discuss quilting in Australia with a focus on “Waggas” as the quintessential Australian quilts. They were made from wool, roughly pieced together, and stuffed with anything the homestead women could find–from blankets to underwear. Waggas were used to keep the drovers warm while riding the long paddocks.
Lecture visitors without picnic tickets are welcome to sit on either side of the stage. Look for signage. |
