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.
