Another Show on the List
I am doing my best to keep the list of Quilt Shows and Events on our sidebar up to date. This weekend I received notice of a Show in PEI this fall that might interest you: St. Paul's Anglican Church in Charlottetown proudly presents "Stories in Stitches- Quilts, Hooked Rugs and other Gems" Tuesday Sept. 24 to Saturday Sept. 28th, 2013. A feast for the eyes and soul in one of architect William Critchlow Harris's outstanding 19th century churches. Come and enjoy the colourful artistic creativity of Maritime quilters, rug hookers and embroiderers. Open weekdays from 10a.m. to 4p.m. and Saturday from 10a.m. to 2p.m. The admission fee of $5.00 is in support of church ministries.
St. Paul's is located at the corner of Grafton and Prince Streets. For more information or to register a submission, call 1-902-892-1691. Deadline for registration is September 6. Sounds like a good reason for a little jaunt to beautiful PEI in September!
We have several other September shows coming up closer to home too: Miramichi QG Show on Sept. 14-15, KVQG Show the next weekend Sept. 19-21 and then the following Saturday Sept. 28 Gorge QG in Grand Falls presents their show. All details are on the sidebar. I hope you'll start making plans now to fill your car with friends for a day trip to support our fellow Guilds and see their work.
Just a reminder, if you were planning to enter a quilt or two in the KV Show in Quispamsis, their deadline is coming up quickly- registrations must be received by this Friday Aug. 23. I have the forms if you need one- contact me and I will email it to you.
Also note the Guilde Acadienne Show in late October in Inkerman - part way between Tracadie-Sheila and Shippegan. This guild has only been going a few years and this is their second show - let's show them our support!
If you know of any other Shows this fall, please let me know and I'll add them to our list.

Two Local Shows...
Hello everyone! Just thought I should bring to your attention two shows in our local area. At Charlotte Street School, in the Penny Gallery in June and July is an exhibit of quilts by local quilter Solveig Wells. Solveig spoke to our Guild back in 2008 or so. She passed away in March of this year and her family has put this display together to honour and celebrate her life.
In 2006-2007 she created a series of quilts entitled Katrina Recovery Quilts to express the personal and collective experience of Hurricane Katrina. These quilts were created with fabrics recovered from the hurricane debris. These quilts as well as others which reflect her extensive travels are on display - the Gallery, open daily from 9a.m. -10p.m. is on the first floor of the Charlotte Street Arts Centre and is free to visitors.
On July 27 and 28 there will be a celebration of her life held in the auditorium of the Arts Centre, with a reception from noon -1p.m. on the 27th. All the quilts will be moved from the Penny Gallery on the 26th to the Auditorium for the celebration on the 27th and 28th. The 28th is the final day for the exhibit.
This coming weekend you can attend a Quilt Show being held in conjunction with a celebration of Maugerville's 250th Anniversary. Sponsored by the Maugerville Women's Institute, it will be open
June 27-29, from noon-7p.m. on Thursday, 10a.m.-7p.m. on Friday and 10a.m.-4p.m. on Saturday, at the Maugerville Baptist Church on Peters Road. This is immediately after the Auction Centre (on your left going downriver).Watch for the signs along the highway. Admission is only $3.00 and refreshments will be served. On Friday afternoon at 2 pm, there will be a Trunk Show of antique quilts from the Kings Landing Collection, by Lois MacDonald.
These events are local- why not support them both?
