Quilt/Blanket - Cuilt/Pluid
Quilt was handmade from cotton, patchwork with many different designs, backed with wadding.
This is a Christmas quilt made by Cuilteoirí na h-Eachléime. The blanket was homespun from wool of sheep, weaved on a loom, from carded wool sometimes dyed.
Quilt/Blanket were both used as bed covers.
Donated by quilter Mary Keane.
