Native images focus
of annual quilt show
GRAND BEND - Just as quilt -
makers of the past used the medi-
um of quilting as an outlet for their
artistic talent, fabric artists today
are adapting traditional quilting to
reflect the issues, legends and im-
ages of Canadian native cultures.
Public awareness and interest in
traditional native culture and artis-
tic forms has grown to the point
that Native Images, Legends and
Spirituality has been chosen as the
special feature of this year's Heri-
tage Quilt Show and Sale at the
Lambton Heritage Museum from
September 22 through September
26.
Display quits influenced by na-
tive design and images include
work by Alice Olsen Williams of
Curve Lake First Nation, near Pe-
terborough. Williams quilts ani-
mals and birds as central motifs in
'her quilts, to relate their impact in
.the lives of her Anishinaabeg peo-
ple. She also uses the traditional
'floral designs developed for native
Win Burry of Toronto will bring
several quilts incorporating native
motifs: an Amish Sweetgrass Quilt,
Omega Point quilt, and Pax quill
The Hand of Friendship wall quilt
is a group project sewn in the na-
tive community of Lansdowne
House, 250 miles northwest of
Thunder Bay.
Northwest Coast motifs are in ev-
idence on a vest designed and
made by Sandy Small Proudfoot.
Celine Vukson of Brantford is ex-
hibiting her tied quilts used in the
extreme cold of the Northwest Ter -
Of course Lambton County is
home to three First Nations, and
quilts will be shown by the Wal-
pole Island quitters. Jim Wilford of
Windsor also brings quilts influ-
enced by native designs.
Much of the quality native quilt -
work on display from September
22 to 26 has been featured in Cana-
da Quilts magazine, and this is the
first time it has been all brought to-
gether for viewing in person.
Also on display will be native art
images by Ferguson Plain; an Ojib-
wa from the Sarnia Reserve and a
member of the bear clan. Plain is
an artist, storyteller and teacher of
Native culture in London. Addi-
tional native artists on display will
be Moses Lunhum and Matthew
Bressette of Kettle Point Reserve
near Forest. The fine art by these
artists will remain on view
throughout the Quilt Show and un-
til October 8,
From our
kitchen to yours
By T.A. ghost writer Heavenly Devine
The new greeting around
the office these days has
changed from "Have you
got any zucchini?", to be-
come "Have you got any to-
matoes in your garden?
Or...?"
Along with peppers, a
member .of the nightshade
family, tomatoes were
shunned by Europeans for many years. Now, there are some
4,000 varieties available worldwide, and about 54 million metric
tonnes for tomatoes are produced annually.
Tomatoes originated in the Andes Mountains of South Ameri-
ca, where there are still some wild strains growing, moved into
Mexico, where 'the Spanish explorers and priests were intro-
duced to these xtomatl and were taken home to Europe by them,
and used in gardens as ornamentals. By the mid 1500's, they
were being eaten in Spain, France (where they were called Love
Apples and supposed to be an aphrodisiac) and Italy (where they
were sometimes called pomo d'oro, golden apple, suggesting that
there were yellow varieties growing there), however, in England
100 years later they were still a novelty and it was longer still be-
fore they were widely eaten.
There reintroduction into the New World occurred around
1800, and it took many years before they were accepted as "a
useful article of diet" according to an editorial in the "Main
Farmer". It is believed that the French cuisine in New Orleans
started the tomato on its way to North American acceptance.
I have a wonderful chili sauce recipe, (Wonderful, I'm sure,
only because I have grown up with it and KNOW that no other
could be as good! (But I'm also sure that yours is almost as
good!], but what I want NOW is a salsa recipe. We seem to be
going through a lot of it lately and I really do have a lot of toma-
toes to use up!
