Albion District Library News

"Hearts and Flowers" is the pattern of the fabric art currently on display at the Albion District Library. This beautiful red, white, and pink heart-themed quilt was created by Albion resident Doretta Wilson.

Wilson took the class for this pattern by Nancy J. Martin (in "Beyond the Blocks") at the Marshall House Quilt Shop. It was her first pieced quilt and is machine quilted.

The quilt was displayed at the Calhoun County Fair in 2005, where it took a blue ribbon. It was shown again at the Harvest Festival Quilt Show in 2007.

The Library is looking for other fabric artists who would like to show their work. The locked showcase measures approximately 67" x 55" and has a hanging rod. If your project is larger, perhaps it could be folded. If you are interested in displaying a quilt or fabric art, please contact the Library.

The Library has additional showcases in the lobby and Adult Room for the display of collections. Please call 517-629-3993 for more information or visit the Library at 501 S. Superior St. to view current displays.
