I have finished 25 quilts that I’ll be selling at the Wellington Farmers’ Market this season. Most are listed here. These quilts are made specifically to sell as fund-raising quilts and not the quilts that I enter in shows. There IS a lot of love in them.
The Wellington Farmers’ Market is held each Saturday starting May 11 (Mothers’ Day weekend) through to the last Saturday in October. We’ll be there every Saturday, except for June 13, when we’ll be at Gather In the County, which will be held at the Crystal Palace in Picton. We’ll also stay home on rainy Saturdays since quilts and rain really don’t mix all that well.
The Wellington Farmers’ Market is held at The Eddie Farm and Hotel, on Loyalist Parkway, between Bloomfield and Wellington, is a fun place to bring the family. There are lots of unique vendors and cool things to see and do, all in a truly beautiful and spacious country setting.
Watch for the big red barn and all of the tents!
There will be a few more quilts added over the next couple of weeks, but basically, this is it!
All quilts are roughly 54” x 63”, which makes them a decent size to use on the couch, on the foot of your bed, on picnics, or to hang on the wall. All are quilted by Deanna Gaudaur (quintestudios.com).
$150 from the sale of each quilt will go to support the work of …
1. PEC Period Party - a group dedicated to eliminating period poverty in Prince Edward County
2. RoseHaven Yarn Shop Knitters’ Group - to purchase yarn for their work keeping County homeless folks warm next winter
3. The Roc - a group that offers much needed services and activities to PEC youth
4. The Department of Illumination - a group committed to spreading joy and creativity in our community
All of these groups make a huge difference in my community and I am honoured to fund raising for them.
All quilts are $500, unless otherwise noted.
When they are gone, they are gone. After doing this for three years, it is time for me to move on and find other ways to contribute to my community!
