History
The quilt was made by 'Grandma Jackson' in Melbourne in the 1930s. It was later owned by 'Grandma Renton' and is now owned by J & P Pedler. It is framed and hangs in their underground home which has a constant temperature of 23 degrees C. In 1998 it was restored by Kath Squire aged 90. 'Grandma Jackson', who made the quilt, was a cleaner at the Tivoli Theatre in Melbourne in the 1920s and 1930s and collected material scraps from which she made the quilts and two pillow shams.
