African Pots Quilt Painting by Ron Harwood, Ailsa Craig, Canada
African Pots Quilt by Gill Rebelo
Above is a painting of my quilt African Pots by Ron Harwood of Ailsa Craig, together with a picture of the original quilt that it depicts. It is hanging in Ailsa Craig Park, together with a painting of a Russian quilt from the Russian exhibition held in Ailsa Craig in 2007.
Painted quilt from the Russian Quilt Exhibition held in Ailsa Craig, Canada, in 2007
The plan is to have one quilt from each international exhibition painted and on permanent display.
After Garnet and Suzanne, organizers of our 2008 exhibition in Canada, relocated to London, Ontario, where our 2013 exhibition will be held, the local townsfolk in Ailsa Craig decided to continue the tradition ofinternational quilt exhibitions which Garnet had begun. To commemorate each country exhibiting, a painting will be displayed in the Park.

Great to see these quilts! Really nice to see an idea take off and become something people think is with following. We are very proud of what we started as it was a hard sell. Garent Smalley
