History
This quilt was made by Mary Annetts (1905-1997) in Adelong New South Wales probably in the 1940s. It was used in her house in Havelock Street, Adelong NSW where she lived for 60 years. Her husband (deceased) was a rabbiter and her son is now postmaster. It was made for general use on the beds and was purchased by The Pioneer Women's Hut at a clearing sale. It is displayed occasionally at the museum.
