Through the years, quilts have become documents of history. Thrifty, self-sufficient women who helped homestead the land stitched quilts one patch at a time leaving their heritage from generation to generation.

Recently quilters have developed techniques, tools and quick and simple patterns to enable us to get a quilt done, still a labour of love, for each of our loved ones. Whether you have made one for each one already or not … it is time to create an heirloom!

Here is your opportunity to create this sampler quilt in attainable sections. The quilt is scrappy but utilizes fat quarters and fat eighths for the blocks. Each month on the second Saturday, themed collections of fat quarters or fat eighths, as needed, will be released for sale. Use these collections or use up your stash or combine both and create your heritage quilt.

This quilt is a collection of 59-6” blocks and will run for 15 months. The first month consists of 3 blocks and months 2-15 have 4 per month.

Registration fee of $25 includes your patterns for the entire quilt and will be available each month for 15 months. Finished quilt 59¾X 79½.

Begins February 13 or start to fit your schedule after that!
