See the Beauty of Quilting at the OCL Long Beach Island Branch March 15
SURF CITY – National Quilting Day is a time to admire the artisans who create them, and to recognize that their handiwork carries centuries of tradition forward across generations. Celebrate with the Pieceful Shores Quilt Guild of Manahawkin at the Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch, 10 AM until 2 PM Saturday, March 15.
Drop in to view live quilting demonstrations and to meet Pieceful Shores members. Quilts that they’ve created will be on view in the Branch’s lobby display case during the month of March.
The Guild was launched in 1993 with 78 charter members. Today, membership approaches 90 people of all ages and all skill levels. The Guild conducts “Sew-Ins” twice monthly at the Bay Avenue Community Center in Manahawkin. A special “signature quilt” featuring contributions by each charter member is on permanent display.
National Quilt Day was established in 1991 by the Nebraska-based National Quilting Association. Quilts consist of pieces of multi-layered cloth joined by stitches or ties. The visual appeal that stems from the quilter’s imagination turns the utilitarian blanket into a work of art.
“National Quilting Day with the Pieceful Shores Quilt Guild” is free and open to the public. No registration is required. For more information, stop by the OCL Long Beach Island Branch, 217 South Central Avenue, Surf City, or call (609) 494-2480. See the full schedule of Library programs in the online Calendar of Events.
OCL turns 100 this year and you’re why we’re celebrating! See details on Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, Spotify, Pinterest and https://theoceancountylibrary.org.
