Houston Quilts – “Fall in Ontario”

Excerpt from Leslie Prokop’s article – Finding a Vibrant Quilting Community – published on the Canadian Quilters Association webpage.

“Fall in Ontario showcased seventeen quilts, representing everyone from beginner quilters to experienced Quilt Canada winners. The collection featured a wide range of styles — piecing, appliqué, pixel quilts, landscapes, traditional, and paper piecing.

The Houston International Quilt Festival 2025 curators shared that one reason our exhibit’s diversity led to its acceptance. It captured a snapshot of Canadian quilters — creative, resourceful, and resilient — from a remote corner of Ontario’s Kawartha Lakes region.”

These creative pieces will be highlighted at our “Feelings in Fabric” 2026 Quilt Show being held on May 8 and 9, 2026 at the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre.
