Page C4 THE COBQURG STAR, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1974 An exhibition of beautiful homemade quilts is on exhibition in Kingston to the ertd of July (Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Queen's University), and will be shown at Cobourg Art Gallery November 1-24. The show was put together by artist Kim Ondaatje, who also has done a film to accompany it. She said it all started because we rented a farm house near Battersea in the Kingston area in 1972 and there was a patchwork quilt on her bed. ^ "I got the idea of a small regional exhibition of quilts, she said, and went to Agnes Etherington Gallery with the suggestion. The result is a show that is now going across Canada. "I am convinced that there have LE MOYNE STAR always been many women artists who have not been recognized as they have worked anonymously with their needles and threads instead of with brushes and paint," the artist says. "My main hope is that this exhibition and its accompanying filnrwill convey something of the joy experienced in making these quilts and possibly inspire some to take up the art and even go on to invent new patterns," Miss Ondaatje said. From Kingston the show goes to the CNE in Toronto, then to Woodstock, Ontario, then to Cobourg, London, Sarnia, Fredericton, Charlottetown, Pointe Claire, Moncton, Halifax, Sackville, Sudbury, and winds up in Vancouver in May, 1976.
