Ontario 200th Anniversary Quilt

Appliquéd, pieced, and quilted by Jean Flewwelling

Pictures of this quilt were taken in 2015 in Fergus, Ontario, Canada at the Quilts on the Grand Quilt Show put on by the Grand Quilter's Guild. It was pure joy to see the fine workmanship put into the embroidery and quilting.

The quilt is now in the Wellington County Museum and Archives collection (Accession #2015.33.1 Item Name: Quilt, Commemorative). More information and photographs can be seen at https://wcma.pastperfectonline.com/Webobject/94C099C4-B736-4120-B83F-196088991900 .

Jean Flewwelling wrote the following write-up which was on a card at "Quilts on the Grand 2015" Quilt Show in Fergus, Ontario:

This quilt was designed by myself for a competition held at Milton, Ontario. It is scenes from Ontario beginning in 1784 and 1984. The centre is a pioneer scene surrounded by scenes from around Ontario, the Terry Fox run in 1980, the Big Nichol at Sudbury, pictures showing logging and fishing in Northern Ontario, sports, snowmobiling, hockey, farming, Parliament buildings, canals in Ottawa, Niagara Falls, the Welland Canal, scenes from Toronto including the CN Tower, city hall, Nathan Phillips Square, Malton Airport, the Stratford Theatre and oil wells first discovered near Petrolia.
