A quilt. What is there about a quilt that endures? There is nothing intrinsic in the materials, and no single block or pattern is superior to another. Yet something happens when the patches are joined together. Unique traits emerge and character strengths develop. When the binding and quilting process are complete, lasting relationships have been formed. The distinctive cushioned design holds tight through the test of time.

The F.F.S.S. Quilt is the result a co-operative endeavour drawing expertise from the Northern Victoria County school district, as well as from the students and staff of Fenelon Falls Secondary School. Thanks are owed to all involved.

Special thanks to the all our local Women's Institutes.
