The Quilts from East Africa
There is a fantastic display of East African (Kenyan)
quilts coming to South-western Ontario.
These quilts are perfect examples of the “threads that
weave us together” and they are part of a truly unique
exhibit which will include;
- lectures on the history of east African quilting by
Kenyan quilters
- presentations by Kenyan quilters
- Kenyan quilt display
- demonstrations
- a merchants mall
- a tea room
The Quilts from East Africa will be in Ontario from
October 20th to October 25th, 2008 and this will be
their only visit to this continent.
This show, and the activities mentioned above, would be
an unbelievable outing for anyone interested in the
quilter’s art and how it relates to Kenya and the
eastern half of the African continent.
Ontario's Fun Connection has been working with the show
organizers and we have put together wonderful day and
overnight tours, featuring a day at the show,
accommodation (if required) step on guides, meals and
side trips that will provide you with an unforgettable
quilting tour experience
Groups are already coming to the show from all over
Ontario, Michigan, Ohio and New York State and there is
still time to book your group.
