Hi, I didn’t even know that this quilt existed. It looks like my grandmother Mrs J Fitzpatrick (Katherine Fitzpatrick ) and my Uncle Earle Fitzpatrick are on this quilt which is just awesome. Is this quilt available to view? Thank you!

Thanks for your interest, Sharon. The quilt will be on display at this year’s Navan Fair, August 4 – 7 2022. Yes both your grandmother and uncle are on it. Jeannie Smith, who used to be Jeannie Ferguson, is spearheading an historical booklet to accompany the quilt. I will try to locate that information and send it to you so you can edit it or add to it. Contact us at historicalcumberland@gmail.com.

I am not sure that my message went through. This quilt will be available to view at the Navan Fair. Come to the historical society booth in the Curling Rink. You and I share the same Quigley ancestry.
