Hand-sewn patchwork quilt, believed to have been worked on by the Brontë sisters.

Many people love exploring the museum during the quieter months of the year and visitors who come between 20 November and 6 December are in for a special treat. The hand-sewn patchwork quilt, believed to have been worked on by the Brontë sisters, will be on display for the first time since the 1980s. The quilt measures 187cm by 214cm and consists of silks, taffetas, velvets and cotton which may have been taken from old Brontë dresses.
