History

This small bed cover was part of the estate of Miss E Bayley. The Bayley family lived at 'Runnymede' in Hobart, Tasmania for around 100 years. It was possibly made by a child with adult help.

Description

The top surface is decorated with small squares and rectangles of coloured silk, velvet, wool and cotton attached approximately 25mm apart, with 3 stitches in centre of patch to attach to background. Bright pink wool patches stand out.
