St Augustine’s, Moreland quilt. Dated June
1895. (National Gallery of Victoria collection. Gift
of the congregation of St Augustine's Anglican Church, Moreland, 2012)
This wonderful crazy patchwork quilt was made of many small scraps of material, then the names of the congregation were added in chain stitch. It was stitched in 1895 and presented to vicar Rev. W. Jordan.

As I looked at the names on the quilt I saw two that relate to my World War One research - Goding and Draeger. You can read about them here.
How fortunate we are that the congregation donated the quilt to the National Gallery of Victoria and that NGV has shared it with all of us online!
