Let me take you on a little tour of my local library
This is the Cornish Branch of the Winnipeg Public Library. It was built in 1914 with money from American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.
Let's go inside.
Oh my. Words fail me! It's my quilt hanging above the stacks.
(Yes, this is one cool library. They have permanent quilt racks.)
Here's two more, even colour coordinated. How fun is that!
And look, three more, with lots of room to spare.
Yes, I've lent seven of my quilts to my local branch of the public library, for everyone to enjoy. None of them are hanging in direct sunlight and they're all above the 5 ft high bookcases, so no one can touch them.
This one I didn't make.... it's a permanent installation made by a local guild depicting the neighbourhood around the library. You can see the library in the middle and my sons' elementary school is on the bottom left. It's a lovely limestone building constructed in 1913. My house looks most like the one in the bottom, right between the trees.
Now it's starting to feel homey!
