There were hundreds of beautiful quilts, old and new, on display in the Williams Lake Curling Rink Saturday and Sunday for the Jean Andersen Memorial Quilt Show.

The display of quilts by Jean Andersen, one of the clubs revered founders, included 50 quilt pieces alone, and one quilt that Jean left unfinished when she died that was completed by her daughter Linda James (centre), pictured here with her daughter Kim James (left) and granddaughter Lori James.

“There are a whole lot more of my mom’s quilts around B.C. and Alberta,” Linda says.
