Due to the unprecedented success of the first showcase
held in 2011, The I leritage Quilt Exhibit is returning for 3
days this April! l Ield at Trivitt Memorial Anglican Church in
Exeter, Ontario April 11, 12 and 13, this year features the
collection of Jane Egan, owner of Galt House Antiques in
Goderich Ontario. 'the exhibit will have 15 of Jane's prized
quilts on display!
Jane Egan has been collecting antique textiles for 40 years
along with mid 19th century china and furniture. In her col-
lection of over 100 quilts, there are 50 quilts from Huron
County. (See attached photo) She buys quilts that have bold
patterns, unusual colours, incredible stitching and in excel-
, condition. Ms Egan commented "you are lucky if you
get all four desired features in one quilt!" Antique quilts
are becoming harder to obtain. Ms Egan used to buy two
good quilts a week at local auctions but now says she is
lucky to find one or two quality quilts a
year.
Besides the collection of Ms Egan, the
Heritage Quilt Exhibit will also showcase
heirloom needlework with hooked rugs
and christening dresses. The heirloom
needlework is an added feature this year
and samplers from the 1800s, petit point,
tatting, and crochet will enhance the
exhibit. An avid collector, Margot Kearney
Shown here is Crown of Thorns. it is from the 1940's and the

crucifixion. Jane purchased it at the Christie Antique Show and
initially the colours attracted her. "Yellow orange and red" she
explained, "don't usually don't work together but In this quilt
they do because of it's graphic appeal and unusual pattern."
