Quilters

Casey House’s 1988 quilt was an original panel in the NAMES Project Quilt and is included in the digital archive of the Canadian AIDS Memorial Quilt. Completed quilts are displayed onsite and rotated seasonally. In 2024, our 1991 quilt was included as a part of the Quilts: Made in Canada exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum.
