T-A photo By . MARY WAR Bll RTON The quilt show held by the Elimville Women's Institute at the Kirkton Community Centre Thursday attracted many quilting enthusiasts. Two hundred and twenty- seven people came out to see the row upon row of quilts which were displayed, Mrs. Shirley Cooper, president' of the Elimville W.I., said she was "quite pleased" with the turnout. Their goal was 250 people. The show brought in about $$40 for the group. The quilts were made and owned by people from surrounding communities and donated only for use in, the display. Altogether there were 140 quilts, 24 afghans and three bedspreads. When you entered the building it was like walking into a maze. Quilts of every description filled the room. There was something there to suit everyone's taste. There were old and faded quilts made before the turn of the century, and there were new, bright and wild ones which reflected the modern 130s, Most of the older ones displayed were patch. quilts. Many of the quilts bore the traditional patterns - Dresden Plate, Colonial Lady, Bow Tie, Sunflower and. Double. Wedding. Ring.Some had beautiful floral designs done in liquid embroidery.A lot Of the more modern ones were covered with geometric patterns. Some of the old quilts had quite an interesting history. One had been made in the depression years with rectangular patches collected from tobacco coupons. It was made by Mrs, T. Creery, Kirkton, Another had embroidered in the centre, "New Years Eve Gift from Emma to Mother", It was made in 1902 by Mrs. Thomas Morley (Emma Batten), Whelen Corners. It is now owned by Mrs, Lorne Johns, RR 1 Centralia, whose husband's uncle bought it at a sale. Still another interesting quilt was made in 1905 by the Woodham Epworth League, a group of ladies from the Methodist Church (now United) in Woodham. Each person paid 10 cents to have her name embroidered on it. It was purchased, in 1905 by Emma Towle and is now owned by Mrs. Wilson Morley, Exeter. One of the modern quilts was covered with sail boat- shaped patches. It is owned by Joan Allen, now of London but formerly from Woodham, and was made by her mother from Joan's nurse's training uniforms after she graduated, The older quilts were usually made from a heavy wool or cotton material. Mrs. Marie Brock, an Elimville W.I. member, from Woodham, said that many older quilts were made from patches cut out from men's old woolen trousers. Today most quilts are made from permanent press materials and wash up well, she said. Some of the quilts displayed were made from crimpoline. Mrs. Brock said that the latest thing -was Trapunto quilting. You can do it with T-towels, sheets or anything with a large pattern on it. Padding is placed under certain parts of the design and held in place by quilting stitches. Then you end up with a two dimensional wall hanging or spread. She also said that quilting with contrasting colored thread was something only started in the past few years. She thought that quilt colour schemes were more com- plementary now than in earlier years. Mrs. Brock said, "It's nice to see younger people in- terested in quilting. A few years back they said, 'What do you want to quilt for?". After getting through the maze of quilts, visitors sat down and enjoyed refresh- ments.
