DANA ABRAHAM, head of adult services at the Coal City Public Library, displays the colorful hedgehog quilt she recently completed and will include in the library’s annual quilt show that will be presented virtually this fall. Photo submissions of quilts will be taken through Oct. 1 and be featured in the on-line display that will appear on the library’s website, ccpld.org, from Oct. 14 to Nov. 14.

The work of talented quilters will be showcased to a much larger audience for annual Coal City Public Library quilt display that will be done virtually for 2020.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the library is unable to have the display throughout the building, so the event will be online. Thus, the library is asking quilters to share photographs of themselves with quilts they would like featured.
This is the 28th year the library has put a spotlight on the talents of local quilters and the virtual display will go live on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at ccpld.org. It will remain on the site though Saturday, Nov. 14.
Quilters who would like to be a part of the virtual display are asked to e-mail a photo along with information including the quilter’s name, name of quilt and a short description of the work. Send jpegs as an attachment to Dana Abraham, head of adult services, at dana@ccpld.org. Quilters can also reach out to her at 815-634-4552 ext. 113 to set up an appointment for a photo to be taken.
