Watson family fonds
In recognition of Archives Awareness Week, the City of #Vaughan Archives is showcasing unique items recently donated to the City’s collection. Featured in this image is a new accrual received for the Watson Family fonds, which includes three quilted Kleinburg Binder Twine albums. These unique and beautiful albums are hand-stitched and contain information going back to the second Binder Twine festival of 1968, which was the first year the festival held a quilt making contest. Included in these albums are information on the history of the quilt competition, previous quilt themes, sample fabrics and images from past events. The 50th Anniversary of the Binder Twine Festival (2016) marked the last time the quilt contest was held, accounting for 48 years of quilt history found within these albums.
