Would you like to dress up
your table for Valentine's
Day? Make attractive heart
shaped napkins as learned
from " napkin art styles. Doris
Warke, handicraft branch convenor,
involved the members
attending the January meeting
in folding napkins in various
napkin art styles. These
included: pure and simple,
lover's knot, decorative pocket,
heart and geometric style.
Q u i l t m a de
She also displayed fabric
bowls and easily made table
runners lo encourage members
to enter handicraft articles
in the upcoming Constituency
Handicraft Competition.
The December 26th, 2004
tsunami has touched the lives
of everyone. Manon Brown,
convenor for International
Affairs, spoke of the death toll
of over 150,000, and the outpouring
of relief support by
organizations, individuals and
children. We are all connected
as exemplified at the Ottawa
memorial service on January
10, 2005.
The branch theme for 2005
is Alberta Centennial Year as
well as acknowledging the
International Year of Micro
Credit.
Branch members are looking
forward to the February
! 9th, 2005 presentation of the
Alberta Women's Institutes
quilt to the Alherta Legislature
where it will hang for the
Centennial year. The quilt
blocks have been made by
branch members from across
the province and depict the
growth and progress of
Alberta through ( he 100 years.
The presentation sponsored by
District Five of Alberta
Women's Institutes will take
place at the Cottonv. ood-
Gordon Hall.
Micro credit refers to a
business with a small start and
with financial support expanding
into a successful business.
Women in third world countries
with small income generating
projects aided by the
Associated Women of the
World would be such an
example.
Branch members along
v. ith Hillsdown Women's
Institute will assemble a quilt
in preparation for a raffle, the
proceeds from which will go
towards the FWIC Convention
project. The quilting will be
done at the HUB Community
Centre.
Roll Call was answered by
displaying or describing a treasured
piece of handicraft.
Many referred to handicraft
from their grandmothers or
fnends. Clippers were presented
and volunteer hours
tabulated before the ladies
were off to their homes ahead
of wind and cold.

A quilt stitched together by
the Cottonwood Women's Institute
near Innisfail is to
hang i n the provincial legislative
b u i l d i n g to help mark A l berta's
centennial.
. The individual blocks that
make up the quilt were crafted
by members of Women's
Institutes from a l l over Alberta.
In addition to the blocks
that went into the centennial
quilt, enough blocks were created
to make a total of 19
quilts, said Blanche Cunningham
of the Cottonwood
Women's Institute.
Besides the quilt celebrating
Alberta's first century, the
rest of the quilts were created
as a fundraising effort because
next year A l b e r t a is to
play host to the organization's
national convention.
An official presentation of
the centennial quilt w i l l be
made to Innisfail- Sylvan Lake
MLA Luke Ouellette on Feb.
19 at the Cottonwood- Gordon
H a l l .
Blanche Cunningham and other Cottonwood Women's Institute members made this
provincial centennial quilt, on display at the Cottonwood- Gordon Hall Thursday.
Feb. 19, it just so happens,
is known as Founder's Day in
the Women's Institute calendar,
because it was on that
day i n 1897 that the first
Women's Institute was established
i n Stoney Creek, Ont.
The organization had
spread to A l b e r t a by 1909.
Cunningham said the quilt
blocks i n the special quilt
cover Alberta's 100- year history.
There's everything from A l berta's
coat of arms and A l berta's
Women's Institute
crest and motto " for Home
and Country," to early horse
power, an o i l well pumping in
a canola field, the modern
tractor, hand- milking, the
farm kitchen including kitten
and puppy, a schoolhouse,
grain elevators and more.
The techniques used to
create the blocks include
quilting, piecing, embroidery,
cross- stitching, applique and
photo- transfer.
The quilt is to hang i n the
legislature for as long as it is
needed, said Cunningham.
After that, the stipulation
is that it be returned.
