Sterling Public Library To Host Quilt Show In March, Sets Goal Of 75 Quilts

***Press Release***

Sterling Public Library will be hosting its annual Quilt Show during March.  This will be the 10^th annual quilt show and the library wants to make it huge. Our goal is to hang 75 quilted pieces which is twice as many as we have had in past years.  In order to make our quilt show the largest one yet, we need your help.  If you are a quilter, be thinking about a quilt you could enter in the library quilt show.  It may be one you are working on now and can finish by February or one you already have completed.  The library is looking for quilters of all skill levels to display their quilts during the show.

If you are not a quilter but are fortunate to own a quilt, we hope you will consider displaying it.  Quilts may be of all sizes.  We will also display smaller quilted pieces such as table runners or wall hangings.

The quilted pieces will be displayed throughout the library for everyone to enjoy during the month of March.  If you have displayed a quilt in the past, we ask that you display a different piece this year.  Please consider sharing your beautiful quilts with the community during our show.
