History
Betty Johnson made this quilt/rug in 1954 when her son Kenneth was going to The Kookaburra Kindergarten in Coleman Street, Wagga Wagga NSW. The children had a sleep on canvas stretchers. The seal motif on the back was for easy identification and matched the symbol on Kenneth's locker.Description
