Library Hosts Quilt Exhibit in June

During June, the Saint Meinrad Archabbey Library Gallery, St. Meinrad, IN, is hosting an exhibit of traditional quilts provided by the Patoka Valley Quilt Guild.

The Patoka Valley Quilt Guild was formed in 1992 through the efforts of Sandra Aronoff and Helen Vonderheide. The Guild is open to those 18 and older who wish to learn about quilting and to share the love of quilts.
