This quilt was donated in memory of Gillian Miller who sadly passed away in 2008. Gillian was very interested in social history and loved textiles in particular. She was an avid collector of samplers and interesting quilts and would have been proud to know that one of her quilts is now in the care of The Quilters' Guild.
