Description

Quilted images from the First World War, many created by descendants of the Newfoundland Regiment, are depicted in book form and for display to commemorate the centenary of the Battle of Beaumont Hamel.
Each of the 260 quilt blocks is unique to the craft person who created it; accompanying each of them is a description of the artist's inspiration for taking part in the project. The blocks have been sewn into quilts, categorized by theme.

About the author

In 1985, the CABOT QUILTERS' GUILD met in St. John's to learn basic quilting techniques. Starting with 12 women, the guild met in members' homes, teaching each other what they learned and encouraging new ideas. Today, the group has over 100 members.
