DAVIDSON—As one guild member explained about the passion for quilting shared by members of the Prairie Patches Quilt Guild, “Some people paint or cook… We like to play with fabric.”

As Bettie Tyndall described this enthusiasm for quilting, fellow guild member Jackie Johnson, nodded her agreement. Both are members of the guild and had some of their handiwork on display at the guild’s biennial show April 14 at the Davidson Community Centre. About 220 people took in the event that featured a varied and impressive display of the quilts, runners and other fabric creations guild members have completed over the last two years.

This marked the sixth show put on by the guild, whose members get together weekly to share in their enjoyment of sewing, quilting and needlework.

Members come from Kenaston, Bladworth, Davidson, Craik and Aylesbury. Their membership list is Andrea Batchelor, Wendy Elliott, Jeanette Holder, Jackie Johnson, Christel Keiser, Blanche Klovansky, Betty Maunder, Val McJannet, Ida McLeod, Cathy Palmer, Karen Rosten Mary Smillie, Colleen Spelliscy, Brenda Stone, Bettie Tyndall, Idelle Westman and Nancy Wilkins.

The guild provides them with an opportunity to learn and share their knowledge and to “continuously grow in their learning skills.”
