Heritage quilt show features biblical themes GRAND BEND - The Lambton Heritage Museum has scheduled its annual quilt show for September 16 to the 24. The special theme for the show this year is Quilts from the Bible. Because of the. Bible's central place in the 19th century home, it follows that Biblical names were commonly used as pattern titles: Cross and Crown. Cross upon Cross, Hosanna. Jacob's Ladder. Job's Tears, Robbing Peter to Pay Paul, Star of Bethlehem, Star of the East, Tree of Life, and World With- out End all owe their inspiration to Biblical passages. Although there are literally hundreds of quilting patterns in popular usage, it certain- ly appears that the most popular motifs are those which express the continuity of life passing between the generations. This year's show is a tribute to the inspiration and use of these themes in the fabric art and craft. Special display quilts arranged to depict and expand on the Biblical theme have been shipped in from across Ontario. They include a palm leaf, quilt titled Hosanna; a Biblical Blocks quilt; a Men's Tie Quilt that hangs in the Exeter Unit- ed Church, and a series of six hang- ings about the biblical women Mary Magdalene, Eve. Huldah, and the women at the well. This is the 15th anniversary of the Lambton Heritage Museum's quilt show. The popular annual fea- ture has drawn fabric -arts and quilt- ing enthusiasts from across West- ern Ontario to share their experi- ences and sewing passions. Over the years the show has changed to include a number of competition and display -only classes, and now includes workshops to learn tech- nique, or guest speakers who share insights into the history and devel- opment of the craft. The first quilt show 15 years ago was mounted by the museum working in partnership with the Jura Guild, of Bosanquet. A quilt block contest this year will explore variations on the Tree of Life, an ancient and much -loved design known for both its intrinsic beauty, and symbolic heritage with- in the Christian faith. The inspira- tion for this motif comes from a passage in Genesis 2:9... "and out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." Stearns Canada and Heirloom Fabrics of Petrolia have provided the four prizes avail- able to the contestants in this cate- gory. Original Hand -Stitched Quilts is the competition class for standard sized, pieced or stitched quilts. This is the category that typically at- tracts the stiffest competition, with more entrants than the other catego- ries combined. Quilter's Supply: The Old Country Store, Arkona: Lambton Heritage Museum, and Stearns Canada provide the prizes. Family favorites is the final class of hanging. This is a display cate- gory that allows families to share their favorite heirloom quilt with- out the pressures of competition. Most of the entries hang with an ac- companying note explaining the family significance of the quilt, and perhaps the circumstances which prompted it to be sewn. The final deadline for acceptance of all quilts is September 6. "Quilts from the Bible" on Sep- tember 16 at 2 p.m.. is a stimulating and thought-provoking lecture by the team of Willie Powell and Lou Farnell. They are the longstanding owners of Quilter's Supply. Following through on the Chris- tian , theme for the quilt show, hands-on sewing workshops that are scheduled include topics such as 'Christmas Wreath" on Septem- ber 19, Seminole Table Runner on September 20, "No -Sew Christmas Ornaments' on September 21, and Patchwork Christmas Tree Skirt' on September 23. Fees for the ses- sions range from $22 to $30. The Lambton Heritage Museum is owned and operated by the County of Lambton, in effort to preserve and interpret the rich local history of the Lambton County area. The museum is situated across from the Pinery Provincial Park on Highway 21, and hours for the show run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. week- ends.
