COURTESY OF THE TALBOT COUNTY FREE LIBRARYEASTON — The Talbot County Free Library and Bayside Quilters of the Eastern Shore are displaying a special installation of quilts to celebrate the library’s 100th anniversary. The installation will be displayed at the Easton Branch of the Talbot County Free Library until Oct. 3.
The installation features 64 beautifully designed and constructed quilts created by Bayside Quilters guild members, which are hung throughout the library. The quilts display a range of styles including traditional, contemporary, modern, appliqué, hand and machine quilting, and art.
The collaboration is a part of the library’s year-long centennial celebrations. A brochure with information on the Bayside Quilters and the quilts displayed will be available at the Circulation Desk for the duration of the installation.
The Bayside Quilters of the Eastern Shore is a guild committed to the creation, study and sharing of quilts and quilt making.
“Outreach is core to our mission statement … We are honored to help celebrate the Talbot County Free Library’s 100th Anniversary. The art and craft of quilting goes hand in hand with reading†a guild representative said in a press release. “Whether it’s learning how to quilt through How-to books, getting inspired by reading fiction or nonfiction or just taking a break. Audible books can be checked out through Hoopla. Listening to a book while stitching is another way quilters use the library services.â€
Bayside Quilters meet on the second Wednesday of the month from 9 a.m. to about noon at the Trappe Volunteer Fire Company, located at 4001 Powell Ave. Visitors are welcome, and everyone is invited to join. For more information visit, .
