Summary
Tapestry bag made by Mrs Violet May Wilson of Beaconsfield in 1932 and exhibited by her in Agricultural Shows in country towns and cities throughout Australia.
Competing in the handcrafts sections of such shows was Mrs Wilson's hobby. Her daughter remembers her packing her work for despatch to a show, and the delight when it was returned with a prize-winning certificate.
