A quilt on display, possibly at a meeting of the Ontario Mennonite Women in Mission. This is a "friendship quilt" with embroidered names of women on each patch. A label attached to the quilt indicates it was made by a ladies' group of a United Mennonite Church, possibly Niagara United Mennonite, probably for one of its members.
