Quilts in The Gillis of Belleisle Vineyard

Last month I posted about a unique quilt show being held in The Gillis of Belleisle Winery in New Brunswick. Here are some pictures sent along by owner Alan Gillis who reports that the day was a huge success, with many visitors and hundreds of dollars raised.

Let's hope they do it again next year!

Quilts In The Vineyard

This weekend a very unique event will take place in Springfield, New Brunswick. The Gillis of Belleisle are hosting a quilt display at the winery on the weekend of August 7th and 8th. (The rain dates are the 14th and 15th). The quilts will be arranged amongst the vines, orchard and on the farm buildings and winery. Click on the poster below for more details:

The winery is a short drive from either Saint John or Fredericton. Personally, I can't imagine a more pleasant coupling than quilts and fine wine, and all proceeds from the event will go to the Canadian Breast Cancer Association. Check back next week and hopefully there will be some pictures of the event posted here. For more information, contact the winery.
