Believed to be made by Janet Paterson (born Gerard) of Wedderburn (Vic). Owned by Grace Campbell (grand-daughter) then by Grace's daughter Joy Lane.
Story:
"I first saw a picture of this work in the book 'Patchwork in Austraslia' by Margaret Rolf.It said it was done byJanet Paterson of Wedderburn. I looked up the family tree & found that my Great Grandmother was of the same name & lived in Wedderburn. She was Janet Gerard & married James Paterson in April 1853 & she died in March 1922.
There is another quilt I believe done by the same lady it belongs to the Brook family in Euroa." [Joy Lane 3.12.96]
