A Message from Terri Paziuk, Organizer of the Quilt Walk event hosted by the CMMM in Tomahawk Park on Canada Day 2023:
“The Cut Knife July 1st Quilt Walk and Textile Show was a success and enjoyed by many throughout the day at Tomahawk Park and inside the Clayton McLain Memorial Museum’s Duvall House. Thankfully the weather worked in our favour!
There were 32 quilts and crocheted items displayed outside along the “walk”. Inside the Duvall House, a 100 year old quilt was on exhibit, along with denim quilts, and more than 20 additional items that included Siwash sweaters, knit sweaters, cross stitching, hooked rugs, wall hangings, crocheted doilies, tablecloths, embroidery and hardanger items.
Sending out a big THANK YOU to all the owners and makers of the quilts and textiles, who generously shared their special creations and hand crafted art either created by themselves – or by someone special in their lives:
Debbie Biggart, Dixie Eddingfield, Lucille Fairley, Donna Gregoire, Marie Hampson, Cindy Heupel, Helen O’Donnell, Terri Paziuk, Marcella Pederson, Bonnie Ramsey, Janet Schmidt, Amy Singh, Colton Stapley, Andrea Stewart, Gale Stonehouse, and Randy Strelioff.
We hope to see you again next year!”

Truly, a treat to view more than 30 beautifully crafted pieces of artwork. If you missed the event, here’s a snapshot of each quilt hanging outdoors on Canada Day along the walking path to the Tipi.
Unfortunately, we don’t have photos of the items inside the Duvall House but those exhibit items were as beautiful and well done as the quilts outside.
