Learn new creative techniques and explore library resources with a hands-on project.

Big stitch quilting is a type of quilting that can be completed exclusively by hand, so you don't need a sewing machine. Join us to learn the basics of this form of quilting and create a small project using library provided materials. 

Fabric will be provided; however, if you have your own stash of scraps you wish to use, please feel free to bring them.
