Albion District Library News

Mary Deardurff is the talented creator of the latest quilt to be displayed at the Albion District Library. “Ducky” is a 42 x 50 inch baby quilt in the “Rosebud” pattern. It is pieced in bright purple and yellow with a narrow border surrounded by a purple border and finished with a yellow binding. Quilted in purple thread, it features the outline of a toy duck in each yellow section. Deardurff made a pair of these quilts when she needed one for a baby shower; this one is in “Grandma’s Box” awaiting the arrival of the next great-grandchild.

The quilt is the perfect addition to exhibits at the Library. “Quack Open a Good Book” is the theme of this year’s upcoming Friends of the Albion District Library Non-ball in April.

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 also has display cases available in the Library foyer and elsewhere in the Library for exhibits. Please call 517-629-3993 for more information or visit the Albion District Library at 501 S. Superior St. to view current displays.
