St. Jacobs Board Parties

Members of the St. Jacobs Quilt Board held the 'kick-off' party for 2016 at Pix Martin's. Everyone enjoyed Pix's amazing yard, delicious food and outdoor heater. It was such a beautiful evening, we all wanted to stay and have another coffee.

Burnstown

Thursday, September 10, I shared my trunk show with members and friends of,' The Burnstown Women's Institute'. This delightful group of ladies was very receptive and seemed to love the colour, shape and modern approach to quilting. The quilt in the photo was a first attempt for many members to paper piece.This quilt hangs in the hall of the Burnstown United Church, a congregation with 15 members.

Listowel Agricultural Fair

This year Listowel Fair Home Craft Division received a high number of entries. The quilts were absolutely beautiful. Perhaps the prize money $8.00 for 1st, $6.00 for 2nd and $4.00 for 3rd prize encouraged participation. Ladies from as far away as Cambridge, Elora and Teviotdale entered the contest...exhibited exceptional skill. Unfortunately I forgot my camera....enjoy the  eight entries in the six horse hitch competition. Wow!

Garden Art

July 12th, I attended the Kincardine Horticultural Garden Tour. At one home I was impressed with the , 'Garden Art,' created by the home owner. What a treat to view so many original pieces...many times  secretly hidden among the plants. Enjoy!
