It's getting exciting to think that Spring is coming. Of course, we've had Japanese magnolias, redbuds, and daffodils blooming. Then the cold comes back and zaps them! But I haven't seen the dogwoods or willows doing their thing yet, so I have to say that Spring is coming.
But March is just next week and we have plans!
March is National Craft Month and the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library will display different crafts each week during the month. So, if you're a crafty person, come take a look.
The first week we will display some of the beautiful glass etchings that our director, Melody Jenkins, makes. Also, various pieces of crochet will be displayed in the lighted glass cases. They'll be provided by staff members Irene Godwin, Elois Matthews, Aileen McNair, Jinx Stubbs, and retired Jean Newton.
The second week will be Quilt Week, since Saturday, the 14th, is National Quilting Day. Some of the quilts on display will be "Cathedral Window" from Carolyn Clark, a "Chicken" quilt from Elois Matthews, a "Maple Leaf" quilt from Johnnie Rogers, a "Granny" quilt from Ann Glass, a "Feed Sack" quilt from Aileen McNair, and a "Scrap" quilt from Irene Godwin.
The highlight of Quilt Week will be Melody's mother, Mrs. Vera Stinson, who will bring the quilt she's working on, huge frame and all, for a demonstration in the reading area at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 10th.
The third week, crocheted and knitted prayer shawls from Connie Fritz will be on display, as well as ceramics from Ann Glass, Aileen McNair, and Jinx Stubbs.
The fourth week Aileen McNair's stained glass will be on display, and Elois Matthew's decorated and natural gourds.
We're proud to share these crafts with you during March, our National Craft Month. Make sure you stop by our place and see these beautiful items.
