  Local residents are invited to bring in up to three pieces of your own or another’s handiwork that may be of interest to our patrons and have not been displayed at the library previously. This can include quilts of any size, hangings, samplers, clothing, and pillows or other home décor.  The quilts will be displayed throughout the entire library building.
  Your assistance in readying items for hanging is so helpful.  Please equip items with a hanging pocket if possible and include dowels if you have them. If necessary, we can use skirt hangers to display work. Attach your name, address and phone number, name of quilter if other than yourself, as well as any information you want to share about the item, such as hand or machine quilted, pattern, etc.  If the item is of historic interest, please include some background on the piece.  Please call to make special arrangements if you need to bring items in sooner; late submissions will not be accepted. A display release form is available here.  Please call Jera at 715-426-3496 for more information.
