Quilts 1700 - 1945 Queensland Art Gallery - love to see this

This is the Rajah Quilt which is apparently one of the most precious and historic textiles in the world. It was sewn by convict women en route to Australia  on the encouragement and under the supervision of the lady-passengers who were committed to the 'reform of female convicts'. the mind boggles.  
The exhibition is on  at the Queensland Art Gallery until September. love to go. Anyone interested in a weekend away?
