Heritage Quilt Exhibit


The Heritage Quilt Exhibit is returning for 3 days this week! Held 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 along with hundreds of examples of early stitching work from regional private collectors.
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 from London will display some of her selected favourites. A tea room, merchant mall and quilt appraisals will be available throughout the three days.
The tea room features home baked pies, cookies, muffins as well as chili, soup, salads and sandwiches! Very reasonably priced with Bach Lunch Combo specials too.
Details of the Heritage Quilt Exhibit including show times, location and the $6 admission are in this poster! See you at the Quilt Exhibit!
