This is an original quilt, from Patchworks Plus.  The entire staff was involved in every detail of the brainstorming, designing and sewing of our Vintage Patchwork quilt.

    Every strip represents a part of out Ontario heritage, from the fruits and grapes of Niagara to the Bruce Trail stretching all the way to Tobermory.

    As it progressed, customers joined in out enthusiasm, adding their thoughts and inspiration to the design.  Dilys Dyer kindly donated her time and talent to appliqué the grape row.  The intricate hand quilting was expertly done my Marianna Estabrooks.

    As a strip-of-the-month project, you will receive extra supplies, depending on the technique used that month.  Feel free to call us if you have any questions regarding the instructions or techniques of the strips.

    Fabrics in your kit will be the same as or as close as possible to the original quilt.
