Emerald Museum & Nobelius Heritage ParkTextile - Patchwork quilt, Beryl Collett, 1990s
... It has a blue and white checkered border and a blue and white checkered back....It has a blue and white checkered border and a blue and white checkered back. ...This patchwork quilt was probably created in the1990s perhaps as a demonstration of technique. However, unlike some of its maker's work, it also appears to have been used. It was created by Kallista woman, Beryl Collett (1925-2018). Beryl learnt handicraft skills as a young person from her mother Hettie Collett (Thorn) who was a skilled milliner. Beryl created many textile objects and items of clothing following her retirement from her accountancy job in 1980 and often won prizes for them. That much of Beryl's own handiwork was created following her retirement epitomises the potential of the retirement phase of people's lives.This patchwork quilt is an example of sewing technique by a local artist.A square patchwork quilt featuring a star pattern combining solid royal blue fabric with floral printed fabrics.

H. Woodward . Two years later William was rated for a two room stone house in William street. By 1868 William Osmond was in business as a Butcher and was the holder of a Beer and Colonial wine license for his home which now numbered eight rooms. The license having been granted he opened the Volunteer Arms there, which he operated for two years whilst he had built, the two storied stone building next door, to take advantage of the fact that a livestock sale yards was operating on the opposite side of William street, hence the name Market Inn. William died in 1876 and his sons continued to run the hotel until 1916, when the building was sold and the license transferred to Harold Revell, a retired farmer. The license was revoked in 1918. and the building became a private dwelling . The building is still standing although the market for which it was named is long gone. It is now a private home and Art Gallery.

A rectangular wool needlepoint textile work that features a multi-coloured map of Australia on a black and white checkered background. ...Wangaratta Art Gallery 56 Ovens Street Wangaratta high-country Yore is a prominent Australian contemporary textile artist, with "Map' winning the Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award 2013. textile wcta wangaratta art gallery paul yore wool needlepoint A rectangular wool needlepoint textile work that features a multi-coloured map of Australia on a black and white checkered background. Map Textile Paul Yore ...I see my work with textiles as always a negotiation of both the poetic and the political. A medium often relegated to the realm of ‘craft’, I see working with wool as a subtly subversive methodology, and an opportunity to engage in socio-political critique. As a laborious yet cathartic craft, the delicately feminine familiarity and domestic warmth of my hand-sewn tapestries allows me to open up and question traditional notions of masculinity through the enactment of a highly personalized queer ritual. Furthermore, wool carries with it frontier pastoral associations of early colonial expansion, and it is in this context that the work Map, which is based on the ethnographic mapping of indigenous language groups, was envisioned.contemporaryWangaratta Art Gallery Collection.

The item has a cat logo on one side and markings on the other of places where the Geelong Gliding Club flew in its early years. ...The Geelong Glider Club was formed in June 1929 at a meeting held at the Belmont Common hangar of Percy Pratt. The club built a Zogling (Primary Glider) based on plans obtained from Germany and flew it off nearby hills at Lovely Banks and other places in the Geelong region. The checked rudder design (without logo and markings) is evident in a picture of a Geelong Glider Club Zogling flying at Tower Hill near Warrambool, Victoria, at Easter 1931 and this lends support to the conclusion that the rudder was part of the Club’s first glider. The logo and markings appear to be a more recent elaboration to the design. Exhibit is a historical link to the earliest gliding activities of the Geelong Glider Club.Fabric covered wooden framed primary glider rudder with metal levers decorated with silver and dark red checkered design.
