During the month of March, libraries in Greenbrier County will host a variety of quilt-themed displays. Some will offer quilt programs that include painting, sewing, designing, and making a quilt journal. All the libraries have numerous books on quilting, quilt patterns and adult and children’s fictional books with quilt names used in their titles or are stories of the part quilt making has played in history.
The North House Museum, located in Lewisburg, will be joining the libraries in the celebration by displaying a diverse selection of the antique quilts housed there.
