QUILTING WORKSHOPS 
     
    
   
   
    
     In 1975 three quilting workshops were held under the leadership of 
     
     Mrs. Louise Marchbank and Mrs. Beatrice Reeves. During the summer 
     
     of 1977, a summer student, Miss. Bette Tweedy, developed a format for 
     
     quilting workshop. As a result of this and keen interest of many mem- 
     
     bers a total of twelve workshops have been held in many different areas 
     
     across the Island under the Cultural Convenership with Mrs. Joan Perrin 
     
     and Mrs. Shirley Moase as the instructors. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In November 1978, a similar workshop was held at Confederation 
     
     Centre for more advanced quilters with Mr. Scott Robson from Nova 
     
     Scotia Museum as instructor. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Approximate attendance to all workshops - 425.
