Quilting workshop coming to library

ASHFIELD — Join master quilter Carol Baldwin for an afternoon all about quilts.

From 1 to 2 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 28, quilters and quilt enthusiasts are invited to Belding Memorial Library on Main Street to learn about the history of quilts in America, including the story of Alice Stock, who made a quilt in 1910 that ended up with Baldwin, her great-granddaughter.

The program is intended for ages 10 and up. Participants will receive a small quilting kit with fabric, batting and backing, and will learn how to thread a needle and make a running stitch, the backbone of handmade quilts.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Ashfield Cultural Council.

For more information or to register, contact the library at 413-628-4414.
