KV Quilters Make Headlines on CBC News!

Our recent 44th annual quilt show was recently spotlighted by CBC New Brunswick! Titled "From scraps to showstoppers: N.B. quilters prove it's not just 'grandma's' hobby anymore," the feature highlights the incredible modern artistry, techniques, and community spirit on display at the Quispamsis Lions Club.

Show organizers Janet McLeod and Ann Perry shared how the craft continues to evolve, drawing both new demographics and a vibrant community of makers. A huge congratulations to all our members and local crafters who showcased their work, and special kudos to Lorette Cole for taking home Best in Show with her incredible hand-painted Amish ice-cutting scene.
