August 14th was Elizabeth (Beth) Hicks' 100th Birthday. Back in 1986, Beth, along with Joan O'Neill, Margaret Kerr, Nina Hicks, Mary Lou Norton and Ruth Garry founded our
Guild. On behalf of the PECQG, I presented Beth with a card and a quilted pillow. Joan O'Neill came with me, to the
Trent Valley Lodge Nursing Home for the presentation. She is pictured with Beth and "the pillow". It was a pleasure to
meet Beth. She told us many tales about the history of the guild and the members at the time. Facts such as, Mary Lou
was the first Guild President, Margaret the first Secretary, are just some of her memories. Speaking to her is like tak-
ing a ride in your very own time machine! Beth won many awards over her quilting years. I only hope I look half as
good, with all my facilities, as she does and has, when I reach 100 years old!

QUILT SHOW 2016 - JUDGED ENTRIES AND VIEWERS’ CHOICE
Quilt Show Report
The 2016 PECQG Quilt Show was held at the Wellington and District Community Centre, Wellington,
ON. This, our 16th biannual Quilt Show was held on Sat. July 9, and Sun. July 10, 2016. It was attended by
approximately 1,274 people.
We had two featured guest artists: Bethany Garner, who also judged the quilts entered into the Judged
Section, and Pat Borecky, a member of our guild. Our own Bill Stearman featured an intriguing interac-
tive Antique Sewing Machine display. Scissor sharpening was available on the Sunday by ScissorMan.
He was so busy that the guild has qualified to receive a percentage of his sales.
Thankfully we did not need an “In Memorial” display at this show.
The Community Centre employees were excellent to deal with, always helpful, courteous, and available.
The rental costs of the facility were exactly what we expected. There were no issues with the venue over
the course of our quilt show especially since most of our past issues had been addressed over the last 4
years.
The Prince Edward County Women’s Institute banded together to run a Café out of the Highline Hall’s
kitchen. They provided food which was good, simple and affordable. The Canteen was closed for the
quilt show duration.
Fifty one guild members entered 295 quilts in the show. All were gorgeous, unique, and displayed a
high caliber of workmanship. Everyone loved the quilts and said our show was the best around. Our
Quilt Show is an undiscovered jewel, we are better than Quilt Canada in many ways! Thank you to all of
our members, their family, volunteers, local businesses, and our attendees.

“I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the quilters that helped out at the Quilt Show. Also a
very big thank you and a big hug to all the husbands of quilters who also helped in setting up and taking
down. Your help was greatly appreciated and resulted in a fabulous quilt show, which would have been
difficult to achieve without your help.”
Mary Campbell
Quilt Show Volunteer Convenor"
“I'd like to pass on my thanks to the Quilt Show Committee for doing such a great job. It is an arduous
task to undertake. It requires hard work and personal time commitment to fulfill. The whole Committee
from the top down (which includes the husbands/friends) deserves credit for undertaking this task. In
my opinion our show was far better than Quilt Canada - our national show - and I doubt that I am the only
one who feels this way. Our membership has great talent within it and it showed in the display. Thanks
also goes to the members for allowing their projects to be shown. Well done everyone!!”
