STAMPED LINEN, CUSHION COVER

1979
Overview

The design on canvas marks the 150th Anniversary of the Swan River Colony 1829.
In Perth in the first half of the 20th century, evenweave linen fabrics were very rare, design and pattern books few and far between. Thus stamped linens/cottons were one of the few household articles available for the lady of the house to stitch.
Patterns for household linen, mass produced by Semco, MyArt, and Deighton were often published in women's magazines such as Australiann Home Journal, The Weekly Times and the Australian Woman's Weekly and offered as a mail service to women in country areas. Australiana was a popular theme.
