Building Warmth: A Log Cabin Quilt opens at Wellington County Museum and Archives on September 10, 2011.
“Quilts created in log cabin patterns were based on the design of the first settler homes.” said Susan Dunlop, Curator. “The log walls provided the shelter from the elements and the kitchen hearth gave light and warmth.”
Inspired by this image of warmth and protection, women created the log cabin quilt pattern from thousands of scraps. Colourful strips were sewn together as the walls of the cabin. A red square was placed in the centre, representing the heart of the home. These exquisite quilts are balanced designs rich in colour, texture and history.
This exhibit runs until March 25, 2012.
The Wellington County Museum and Archives is located on Wellington Road #18 between Fergus and Elora. The galleries are open weekdays from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm and 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm on weekends and holidays.

This dazzling display of ten quilts from the collection of Dr. Maude Southwell Wahlman presents an indigenous American art, an alternative aesthetic tradition quite different from that seen in widely known European-American quilts. African American quilts are characterized by strips, bold colors, large designs, asymmetry, multiple patterns, and improvisation. These quilts are unique in American arts because they show a combination or creolization of African textile ideas and symbols with American traditions. This exhibition is one of a series of programs that is a part of Oceanside Public Library’s Big Read event. The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. The 2012 Oceanside Big Read presents the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, the acclaimed novel by African American writer Zora Neale Hurston. The exhibition will open with a preview reception on Saturday, February 4 at 11:00 a.m. The reception is free and open to the public
