The patchwork quilt got its origin
in Palestine or Egypt with the
British Isles being the greatest
friend of patchwork quilts.
Jackets, dresses and u nef
garments were made of
patchwork quilting in the late
15th century. Women in France
started applique quilts and the
American women developed them
i nto so many beautiful patterns.
The first applique quilts were
called picture quilts. The Italian
women introduced corded
quilting and the Germans
introduced the down and wool
comforters. It was a woman's
proudest boast if she could call a
pattern her own. Over the years
many social quilting parties have
been held with the women
quilting in the afternoon, the men
folk invited for supper and a
dance followed. When ministers
left autograph quilts were made
and often times a brides quilt was
made and when finished the
engagement was announced

jail need
help
"Stone walls do not a prison make
Nor iron bars a cage.,."
The spirit of those two Well
known lines of poetry is lost if one
takes time to examine the
structure of the 135 year old
Huron Historic Jail. The sturdy
walls themselves are a tribute to
the craftsmen who erected them
in the mid-1800's.
Using stone from the Maitland
River Quarry, near Goderich, the
builder, William Day, erected the
two foot-thick walls on a footing
located eight feet' below the
surface of the ground. As well as
making escape by tunnelling a
virtual impossibility, the design
has assured the stability of the
structure for many generations to
come. Although there has been
some cracking, and some mortar
decay, a recent examination by
Federal Government officials
re-assured the Huron Historic Jail
Board that the walls have reached
a state of "equalibrium" and
little further deterioration is
expected.
That doesn"t eliminate current
problems, however. The jail walls
need three remedial measures.
The necessary work is for the
most part, labour-intensive
according to Jail Board officials,
and, costs are thereby quite high.
The most important task is to
"monitor" the walls for further
Movement or shift.
This will be accomplished by
inserting a number of glass rods
through the two-foot thickness
adjacent to existing cracks. As
long as the glass remains intact,
the walls are proven to be stable
and no further remedial work is
required.

Mrs. James Edgar, Shelley and
