Alcohol ban at Falls
for holiday weekend
A traditional quilting bee brings
many people together around the
quilting frames, and while the
fingers are flying over the tiny
stitches, there is much laughter and
visiting, and delicious smells
coming from the kitchen. The
sights and sounds of such a quilting
bee will be recreated at the Joseph
Schneider Haus Museum on
Victoria Day Weekend, May 17, 18
and 19.
Mennonite quilters from the St.
Jacobs area and from Erb Street
Church will be demonstrating their
quilting expertise throughout the
weekend. A selection of quilts
going to the Ontario Mennonite
Relief Sale and Quilt Auction in
New Hamburg on May 31 will be
exhibited in the classroom.

Mothers and Families.
Gloria then introduced Phyllis
Reinink, the guest speaker for the
night. She started off by reading a
humorous poem called 'Being a
Member'. She told the ladies that
she has raised six children and still
has no answers but left with lots of
questions.
It was also learned that Phyllis
had been a teacher for a few weeks
to Margery Huether, 51 years ago.
Then she began her talk about
Mary, the mother of Jesus. The
members were asked to imagine
themselves as Mary and what they
thought it may have been like for
her. Gloria thanked her guest and
she and Heidi took over the
business part of the meeting.

The highlight of this year's
Quilting Bee is Tokyo Kaleido
scopes: The Quilts of Setsuko Obi.
Setsuko is a Japanese quilter,
currently living in North York, who
has combined eastern and western
decorative traditions creating her
own unique quilted works of art.
All hand-pieced and hand-quilted,
Setsuko's quilts are colourful,
sometimes whimsical, and always
unbelievably detailed.
Setsuko won First Prize at the
1996 Ontario Juried Quilt Show in
Kitchener with the quilt she entitled
Tokyo Kaleidoscopes of 1910s.
Throughout Quilting Bee
weekend, visitors will have a
special opportunity to meet the
artist. Setsuko, along with Water
loo's own, quilt artist Kathleen
Bissett, will be at Schneider Haus
from 1 until 4 p.m. on Saturday,
