Quilting Events at Oshkosh Public Library

Last week, The Oshkosh Public Library sponsored a program for quilters, quilt enthusiasts and readers alike.

Jennifer Chiaverini is the author of The Elm Creek Quilt series. She read a chapter from the new book, and showed a few of her own quilts (yes, she quilts!). Then she signed books.

Lakeside Quilt Guild (our local guild) did a quilt show under the dome (I had 2 pieces on display : Oliver and Sandy's Promise--not pictured here). Apple Blossom Books sold books. The quilts looked very nice in that classic old building!



Quilts Under the Dome. Sorry the lighting is so poor. It doesn't do these quilts or the building justice.

It was a very well-attended program (despite the Packer game). I am especially pleased to see our public library offering adult programming like this and tying in community resources like the local quilt guild and Apple Blossom Books. It does a lot to BUILD community!
