Sandra: "I couldn't bear to cut into the orchids so I made trapezoid shapes. Other pieces were worked in to enlarge the quilt. Machine sewn and quilted."

This quilt has the shortest time-line of any of the Coastal Quilters': it was made over Christmas week in December 2005 in Dodge Cove for Paul Ramer, a former resident, who had terminal colon cancer. Paul and his family had moved to Saltspring Island, but he returned every summer for salmon fishing and kept up his friendships in the area. He was very touched by the love and effort the quilt represented, proudly displaying it to all his southern friends and visitors, and slept under it the last few weeks of his life.

This painting of the Coastal Quilters making Paul's Quilt was done by Dodge Cove artist Iris Barker. Pictured are Jane Wilde, Kristin Miller and other members of the Coastal Quilters.

This quilt was made by Pam Mahoney in 2002.

Pam: "To make this quilt I employed strip quilting using different combinations of colour, sewing them together, then cutting them into different widths to insert them, creating contrast, to form the Bargello design."

This quilt was made in 2007 by Eunice Seidemann of Hunt's Inlet.

Eunice: "I wanted to hide an ugly door and add a bright corner in the dark part of the kitchen. The magic of quiltmaking took this wall hanging beyond my whims. It has motion and speaks to me of all the friends who've given me pieces of fabric over the years. Now instead of just a brightness in the corner it lifts my spirit and causes a smile."
