Plans are underway to include at least one Quilt Registry Day in every county in Nova Scotia. Recently, very successful Quilt Registry Days were held in Shelburne, Yarmouth, Middleton, Lower Sackville and Amherst. I checked at the N. S. Museum and they don't have nor have they ever seen one in Nova Scotia. So that was pretty special and the quilt itself was quite wonderful. The other interesting quilt is an appliqued one that has all the signs of the zodiac and was made in 1895.
Future plans are to have an exhibition of a selection of the quilts and perhaps a book.

Anne Eddy Learn wonderful machine embroidery and embellishment techniques with Ellen. She has combined three of her most popular classes just for us. Geared to all levels of skill, a normal sewing machine and imagination are all that is required. Ellen will provide an extensive materials list and will be bringing hard to get items.
