Buritts Rapids

By Isabelle and Jacques

What a great day we had in Buritts Rapids. The weather was terrible, but the welcome and the smiles were so warm and sunny. The village is superb, and what a "cachet " this building has.
Jacques and I were vending our handmade wooden rug hooking items, and also some of my patterns. 
Congratulations to the Burritts Rapids Boots & Baskets Guild who are celebrating their 40th year this fall!

The Cushion Project: Barachois Historic Church_Grand Barachois, New Brunswick,

By Emmy Maten




The Barachois Historic Church, now a local museum, art gallery, and summer concert venue, commences its 200th year celebrations with “200 Hooked Cushions for my 200th”. The cushions will be permanently exhibited on the old wooden church pews.

The opening exhibition of these donated hooked cushions will be held August 18, during the 2019 World Acadian National Congress. An exposition catalogue will be produced to include photos of the cushions and information about the artisans, their creation, as well as technical details.



Several of our Guild members were very keen to participate in this creative project. Shown here are 6 of our members with their cushions.



Candace also made a cushion, which the Church has already received.
This exhibition is a wonderful reason to visit the Maritimes this summer!
