The congregation of Dorchester Presbyterian Church in Dorchester, Ont., held its first ever Wintertime Quilt Show from Feb. 25 to March 1, 2022. For the event, the church sanctuary was decked out in 117 stunning quilts, so that visitors could come and enjoy an incredible array of beautiful creations that grew from patience and persistence, one stitch at a time. The quilts were generously provided by the Cherished Pieces quilt shop in Tillsonburg, the Elgin Piecemakers Quilt Guild, as well as many individual quilters from Dorchester and surrounding communities. The Wintertime Quilt Show was a great success, welcoming 212 guests and receiving $1,642 in donations, all of which was donated to Camp Kintail. PHOTO CREDIT: LINDA CHARLTON.
