While one can't see this quilt from Highway 11 while whizzing by, the large bottle out front, made of dozens of bottles, will lead one to it.

This is one of 49 quilt panels which have been placed to date along Prince Edward Island's Arts and Heritage Trail. The purpose of the panels is to " raise the profiles of the participating arts and cultural partners". Mounted on the front of the museum, it is intended to draw attention to the fact that either artwork, heritage items, or both, are to be found within.
Apparently the quilt at the co-op has been changed since the Arts & Heritage PEI quilts web page was produced, as it shows a different one. See the small image, the original one, further below.
This quilt can be found on the front wall of the Handcraft Co-op in Abram's Village, just to the left of the front entrance. The co-op takes in hand crafted items of all sorts by local artists and crafters, creating a centralized spot for the artists to market their creations. Beyond that, we know very little of the co-op so we've included their description below.

Quilt Boards of PEI
Quilt boards are used to designate Arts & Heritage Trail participants, providing visitors with an easily identifiable trail to follow. An Island symbol, the quilt speaks strongly of our creative heritage. The quilt boards found along the trail have been created by Island visual artists working with participants to reflect each arts or heritage venue thematically and visually.
Quilt Board trails are found in 22 states and 4 other provinces. Each trail has a specific purpose and art model. On PEI the purpose of quilt boards is to raise the profiles of the participating arts and cultural partners.
In June of 2015 the first Arts and Heritage Trail Quilt Board Car Rally was held with teams participating in separate routes along each coastal drive.
We hope you enjoy our quilt board art and the Arts and Heritage Trail.
Every property has a Quick Response (QR) Code sign that will take your smartphone back to this website for more information about the related cultural attraction.
