This collection consists of one Jacquard woven afghan measuring 45 inches wide by 69 inches long with a fringe border. The afghan depicts all the catholic churches of the St. John Valley and their names woven in black on a light gray-colored background. Also, depicted in the center of the afghan are the names of L’Association Française de la Vallée St-Jean; Le Centre Français Madawaska; La maison Mikesell; and the flag representing le centre français. The backside of the afghan shows a black background with white churches and letters.

This afghan was the result of a fundraiser for L’Association française de la Vallée St-Jean, an idea of Marie-Paule and Dan Lapointe of Van Buren, Maine in 2013. Marie-Paul went around and photographed the churches in the valley except for one; the church in Eagle Lake was photographed by Bob Devoe. The afghans are/were made as needed and available in two colors, red and black.

Written on the label of the afghan: “Country Mills Inc., 100% cotton, Jacquard woven afghan, Made in USA.”
