Contemporary Quilt Exhibit during July

The Saint Meinrad Archabbey Library Gallery, St. Meinrad, IN, is hosting an exhibit of contemporary quilts provided by the Patoka Valley Quilt Guild, from July 3-31. The exhibit follows a similar exhibit of traditional quilts provided by the Guild during June.

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. Meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Ferdinand Community Center.

Each meeting features a program focusing on an aspect of quilting. These programs allow members to try different skills or new methods used in the quilt process. The Guild also sponsors workshops, lectures and quilt shows that are open to the public.

To learn more about the organization, contact the Guild at: Patoka Valley Quilt Guild, P.O. Box 515, Jasper, IN 47547.

The library exhibit is free and open to the public. Library hours are Mondays, 8 a.m.-noon and 1-5 p.m.; Tuesdays through Thursdays, 8 a.m.-noon, 1-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.; Fridays, 8 a.m.-noon and 1-5 p.m.; Saturdays, 9-11 a.m., 1-5 p.m.; and Sundays, 1-5 p.m. The library will be closed on July 4 and on the morning of July 16.

All times are Central time. Those wishing to view the exhibit may want to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing time.
