Church Membership Quilt
Joanne Gordon is searching for a church membership quilt that had been given to her as a wedding present. The quilt had been purchased by her grandmother, Mrs. Henry White. Sometime around 1966 this quilt was lost during a move from one house to another in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
This quilt, made around 1953-1954, is about 80" by 100". It was made by the ladies of the Orangeville United Church, Orangeville, Ontario, Canada. There is a picture of the church in the center of the quilt. The words "First Avenue United Church" were embroidered above the church and "Orangeville, Ontario" was embroidered below it. The names of the church members are embroidered in stars around the church. The names of Joanne's parents and grandparents are in the right hand corner. The quilt was made with brown, red and blue embroidery on a white cotton background.
If you have seen this quilt, please contact Joanne at [email protected].
