She helped women convicts coming to Australia. The women convicts on the ship The Rajah sewed a quilt top using fabric, thread and needles donated by Fry’s charity. The quilt known as the Rajah quilt is a very special treasure for Australians who know about it and is held by the National Australian Art Gallery in Canberra. It’s been on display recently. It’s very fragile. There are some interesting talks about it on UA-cam.
Thank you for this thoughtful short film. Being a descendant of Elizabeth’s, from her maiden named family, it’s lovely to learn more about her and her good work.
Great content.
