Black Creek Pioneer Village in Toronto will host two quilt events in the late summer of 2014. In mid-August, the York Heritage Quilters Guild will organize the Quilts at the Creek weekend. In mid-September, the annual Toronto Mennonite Festival includes its very popular quilt auction to raise money in support of Mennonite Central Committee’s work of “relief, development and peace”.

Quilts at the Creek in 2014
The York Heritage Quilters Guild orchestrates a two-day quilt show and sale at Black Creek Pioneer Village.
The “trunk show” should fascinate quilt fans, by displaying a trunk-full of art created by a single quilter. Learn how that person came to develop her (or his?) craft. What were the inspirations?
The York Heritage Quilters Guild asked quilters to focus on the Log Cabin style as the main theme for 2014’s quilt show and sale.
The official Quilts at the Creek web site offers more details, but note that this quilt show runs Sat. and Sun., Aug. 16-17, 2014 from 11am to 5pm. The related Black Creek Pioneer Village web page adds few details, but offers links for buying admission tickets online and learning much more about the Village.
A Quilt Auction at the 2014 Toronto Mennonite Festival at Black Creek Pioneer Village
Known as the Black Creek MCC Relief Sale for most of three decades, the Toronto Mennonite Festival will run on Saturday Sept. 20, 2014. The quilt auction highlights this traditional craft; you can bid on quilts created by the Mennonites and Amish donors. MCC (Mennonite Central Committee) supports international relief work, peace and justice initiatives, and community development.
Beyond hosting an important annual GTA quilt auction, the Toronto Mennonite Festival includes performances by local musicians, and food donated by local Mennonite churches. You might expect sausage and sauerkraut from Mennonites with ethnic roots in Germany. Would you be surprised by South American samosas or Asian spring rolls? Or a choice between meat-based versus vegetarian Sloppy Joes? (Added Sept. 15, 2014): Read how to participate in four part harmony in today’s “Mennonite Singing in Toronto at Black Creek Pioneer Village” article.
Black Creek Pioneer Village hosts at least one other group on Sept. 20, in addition to the Mennonite activities. Plus, many of the Village’s heritage buildings will be staffed by historic interpreters on staff. This annual autumn Toronto event is a wonderful opportunity for families to learn more about pioneer life in this area of southern Ontario.
The Toronto Mennonite Festival web site adds further details. (I’d written about this autumn Toronto event before, in “The 2013 Toronto Mennonite Festival at Black Creek Village” and “2012 Quilt Auction at the Black Creek Pioneer Village Relief Sale“).
Disclosure: I am very involved with the Toronto Mennonite Festival.
