Limited
edition
plate issued
by Women's
Institute
GUELPH - A Limited Edition :
fine porcelain plate, entitled "Cele-
brating 100 years", has been re-
leased for sale by the Ontario
Women's Institute. This plate her-
alds the start of celebrations to
commemorate the 100th anniver-
sary of the Women's Institute.
"We are proud in Ontario to
have been the birthplace of the
Women's Institute," says president
Donna Russett. "A circle of trilli-
ums on the plate not only reflects
these roots, but also the circle of
friendship enjoyed by members
worldwide. We are very pleased
with the high quality of this plate
production."
It was on February 18, 1897, that
101 women turned up at a meeting
in Squire's Hall, Stoney Creek, to
hear Erland Lee and Mrs. Adelaide
Hoodless address the needs of ru-
ral women. The first Women's In-
stitute was formed. Women's Insti-
tute branches quickly sprung up
across Ontario, across Canada and
worldwide.
The Centennial plate, designed
by Vera Knowles of Langton
Branch, Hamilton, was the win-
ning design of a competition orga-
nized by the London Area Wom-
en's Institutes as part of the
celebration plans. Plates are hand -
numbered and issued with Certifi-
cate of Authenticity, making them
very attractive to plate collectors
around the globe.
Orders for plates may be submit-
ted to FWIO, Box 29038, Guelph,
Ontario, N I H 7T8 with a cheque
for $50 which includes shipping
and handling.

Tenth year foi
annual quilt show
GODERICH - The Annual Quilt Show at the Huron County Mu-
seum is a special exhibit in 1994 to mark the 10th year the show has
been presented by the Museum and Museum Friends. It will take
place between August 6 and September 18 at the Huron County Mu-
seum, 110 North Street, Goderich, Ontario.
Many unusual and artistic quilts as well as woven articles from
members of the Huron Tract Spinners and Weavers, and rug hooking
items from the Saugeen Rughookers Branch of the Ontario Hooking
Craft Guild will be on display. Fifteen of the original 1984 Show
quilts will be on exhibit.
Some articles will be for sale and will be clearly marked for those
who are interested.
As the 10th in this series the quilt show attests to the quality and ex-
cellence established at the Huron County Museum. The participation
of quitters in the County, through their loan of quilts, demonstrations
and actually quilting throughout the show make this a memorable
event for all who attend, say museum officials.
The Museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. and on Sunday from 1-4:30 p.m. for quilt viewing and self -
guided tours of the Museum.
Admission to the museum is required to view the Quilt Show.
