Emily was born Emily Rose Easter in 1869 in the Mudgee-Gulgong area. Her father was labourer and ex-convict William Easter (who escaped from Van Dieman's Land twice in 1853-55), her mother was Emily Tattersall. Emily Rose Easter had lived in Rylstone after her mother remarried to 'engineer' (probably train engineer) John S Payne. When he died in 1883 her mother remarried E. Brown and the blended family of Easters, Paynes and Browns went to Widden Brook off the Goulburn River valley. In 1885 Emily Rose Easter married James Allen Fairweather and had five sons and a daughter. This marriage broke down around 1913 and Emily Rose moved back to Rylstone with her 8 year old son Hector Fairweather (also on the quilt), living at 'Glen Lee', Narrango (Rylstone district), close to her half-sister Sarah Bird (Payne) living at 'Hillview'. In 1934 Emily Rose Fairweather married William Henry Farrar (who died in Rylstone in 1939) and Emily died there in 1953.
