Quilt made from old hospital curtains
"My great aunts emigrated to London from Tipperary in the 40s and worked as nurses. They were tasked with replacing the curtains in the ward they worked in. The front of the quilt is all the sample pieces from the fabric shop. The back is the old curtain that came down. They came home from London with the quilt and it had been in their house until their death four years ago. "
