History
This pictorial quilt was made by Matilda Hutchinson (born Loader) and was completed in 1936 for the Royal Agricultural Show of that year. It was passed on to Matilda's daughter Linda Grant and is now owned by her grandson David Beasley. Matilda Loader (later Hutchinson) was born in 1865, one of three daughters of Emma Jane Loader. She died in 1961 and is buried at the Payneham cemetery in South Australia.
