Local event focuses on timeless craft

Quilters are invited to celebrate the craft with a two-day show in Oshawa this weekend.

The Oshawa Senior Citizens Centres are hosting a Quilt Show Caper June 6 and 7 at the
Northview Branch, 150 Beatrice St. E.“Many hours are put into creating quilted items but quilting is about more than that”, says Ruth Morton, OSCC Quilt Show Chair.

“The fun and laughter I have shared while learning to quilt over the years is very fulfilling. It is a great hobby and I invite everyone to come out and see what the students at OSCC have created.” The event, which runs on Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature more than 100 quilted items on display as well as more than 500 hand-crafted items for sale,

scissor sharpening from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day, vendor booths selling quilting supplies and workshops at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day with expert Janet Coates. Admission is $2 and includes a small handcrafted item. Refreshments will be available in the OSCC Tea Room for $3. For more information, contact Colleen Zavrel, manager of leisure programs, at 905- 576-6712 ext. 2875.
