Open Art Studio, Community Quilt Update

 

Open Art Studio-Community Quilt Update

Would you like to add your artistic flair and be a part of Evansville history? Join us on Thursday, Aug 18 at 2 pm for an Open Art Studio!  We’ll have fabric markers and fabric paints available to decorate a fabric square for the Community Quilt, as well as plenty of ideas.  No sewing necessary (though if you have talent, we’d love to see those, also!) 

We’ve had around 12 squares turned in so far, we’d love to see more!  We will be adding a square at the upstairs desk that everyone can sign and would love to see squares that represent the organizations and businesses that make up Evansville.  What does Evansville mean to you?

In September, look for an author/embroidery artist who will be teaching a beginning embroidery class, and please be sure to turn in your squares by October 1^st so we can start to put the quilt together.  We’re excited to see how it turns out!  The quilt will be on display until March 2023, when we will have a prize drawing to win it. (Funds raised will be used to cover quilting costs. Any additional funds will go toward the Summer Reading Program.)
