History:
The quilt was made by Simone Poznanski between 1965 and 1967at Echunga SA when she was first married. Her husband worked shifts a lot and sewing was one way she filled in her time. Her Mother, Bonnie Johnston, sent her Tahitian materials from Noumea which inspired her to begin the quilt.

Quilt made of 9120 very small Suffolk Puffs, each one about the size of a 20 cent piece. "Each piece backed and the front of it drawn up like a reticule. It was not backed and was rather fragile, so I backed it on to a sheet, as it was heavy and in danger of tearing when lifted." [Gillian Sullivan]
