History
The quilt was owned by Vida Myhill Taylor (maiden name unknown) and then after her death, by her husband the Rev. Frederick Taylor. It is thought to have been made in England. It is not used now. Vida Myhill Taylor came out from England and settled in Coolamon NSW. Quite late in life she married the Rev. Frederick Taylor. There were no children. Vida was known locally as a great seamstress and knitter. She died in the early 1980s. In about 1984 the Rev. Taylor gave the quilt to Mary Robertson.
