Workmanship of Plenty’s quilt makers on display

By Joan Janzen

The Plenty United Church was a busy place on Saturday afternoon, April 27th. The main floor of the church served as the venue for the community’s 5th annual Spring Fling Quilt Show. Dozens of quilts were draped over the pews creating a spectacular display. The quilts were all crafted by local quilt makers.

An assortment of vintage gowns made up an exhibit, thanks to Joan McCrimmon making her private collection available. Oil paintings and velvet paintings from the mid-1960s were on display as well as pastels from as early as 1946.

Anyone who was hungry could head downstairs for a soup and sandwich lunch followed by a homemade dessert. Six home-based businesses were also selling their wares while their customers enjoyed lunch.
