Quilt Study Group 2016: July Textile Talk and Tour of The Barracks
The 3rd talk of the year for the Quilt Study Group of NSW will be given by Megan Martin, Head of
Collections and Access, at the Sydney Living Museums on Macquarie
Street, Sydney CBD.
Starting at 10am on Thursday the 21st of July Megan will
talk to us about the identification of the textiles they found between 1979 and
1981 in the under floor deposits at the Hyde Park Barracks. The talk, “What
colour was that girl’s dress? The archaeological evidence of fabrics from Hyde
Park Barracks”, will be followed by a tour of their new exhibit ‘Female
Immigration Depot 1848-1886’ at the Barracks.
Numbers for the tour
are strictly limited to 15 Guild members, but if there is more demand, we can request
another tour date. Please contact the Quilters' Guild of NSW Office to secure
your place for the talk and tour. Please note: access to two of the floors at
the Barracks building is by staircase only.
