Known as The Westbury Quilt, this stunning hand embroidered and appliqued red and white quilt was made by 6 women from the Hampson family between 1900-03 in Tasmania, Australia.

It is one of the more important colonial quilts in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia, and was featured in their “A Century of Quilts” exhibition in Canberra.

Although technically more of a coverlet, as it is not quilted, this quilt has 52 stitched blocks – embroidered with proverbs and sayings, and intertwined with blocks depicting favourite farm animals, complete with pet names! It’s a joyful quilt, with its bright red fabric, and funny (laugh out loud at times) sayings, and a big happy embroidered floral border.

It is likely that this quilt was intended as a raffle prize at the time, due to the embroidery on the block above, but the quilt was exhibited by Mary Hampson at the Westbury Agricultural Show in 1904 and again at another in 1906.
