..a break from quilting...my roses are
flourishing...enjoy!!

Wendy Lamb standing proudly in front of her aunt, Grace Drummond's quilt.

Grace Drummond designed and created a quilt reflecting many aspects of Perth County. The quilt is enhanced by the variety and texture of many fabrics. At the IPM it was a show piece. In the photo, Wendy Lamb, her niece admires it.

When was the last time you saw a pastel yellow quilt? Chocolate Dipped made by Liz McNally from Stratford was chosen by our car pool for the Viewer's Choice at the 2013 IPM show in Mitchell. The background was appropriate for the hand quilting. Lesley Chaisson designed this pattern.

...and the crowds came to the Mitchell Arena to view the 200 quilts on display in honour of the 2013 IPM to be held in September. The committee did an outstanding job displaying all the quilts. The quilt block challenge was well received..and several quilts and pillows were made. Pie served at the food booth received rave reviews..and a few people visited the cafe to purchase pies to take home.

Perth County IPM will be held near Mitchell in September. The 100 Years of Quilting Quilt Show will be held at the Mitchell Community Centre, Friday August 9-10:00 am to 6 pm and Saturday August 11 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.Tickets $7:00 at the door.
