Handmade Quilts and Textiles on Display at the Library

This August, Quilting Plus will feature handmade quilts and textile crafts in the glass display case at Barrington Public Library.

The group meets weekly at Barrington Baptist Church to create quilts. Recipients of their quilts have included injured military service personnel and tuberculosis patients in North Korea. They also work to provide a handmade quilt to every child whose family moves into a new home through the Providence chapter of Habitat for Humanity. This group of ladies strives to convey compassion and warmth through their one-of-a-kind quilts.

Quilting Plus also makes textile crafts like fabric baskets, scarves and smaller quilts. Visit Barrington Public Library to view the display or contact Nancy Christy (nancyechristy@gmail.com) for more information about the group.
