History:
Made by Jane Judd in Great Britain in the early 19th century. The quilt was brought to South Australia in the 19th century by the maker's great grand-daughter Katherine Helroyd, and continued to stay in the family, until donated to the Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide, in 1994 by Diana Tostevin.

Story:
Jane Judd's husband was taken prisoner during the American Wars of Independence and after his return to England 12 years later she made a patchwork of his shirts and dyed them with saffron. The broderie perse quilt contains early 19th century fabrics, so was either made later in her life, or has had additional fabrics added. The quilt remained in the family of the maker until it was donated to the Art Gallery of South Australia.
