Quilters in Laramie are wielding their sewing machines in the name of charity this weekend, joining a national movement that aims to create a million pillowcases in 2010. At Quilt Essentials, a quilt store in downtown Laramie, sewers of all ability levels are invited to come by on Saturday and Sunday to make a pillowcase, with the store providing fabric, directions, machines and snacks. To demonstrate the ease of making a pillowcase, Deveraux invited Laramie Lady Plainsmen basketball coach Rod Tyson to the store last week along with two of his players. The pillowcases being donated to the cancer center will cheer up patients in honor of Quilt Essentials co-owner Rose McNerney, who is undergoing treatment at the center, according to Deveraux.

Art Review - New Jersey - Jack Walsh’s Art Quilts Are Displayed at the Morris Museum - NYTimes. MORE THAN WARMTH “Savannah, the Two of Cups,” by Susan Shie, below, is among the quilts owned by Jack Walsh who has lent 36 of them to the Morris Museum, where they are on display. That expansion started in the 1960s, according to Linda Moore, the museum’s chief operating officer and the curator of the Walsh exhibition, when artists trained in more traditional media began experimenting with quilts. Walsh, Michael James , chairman of the Department of Textiles, Clothing and Design at the University of Nebraska and one of the quilters in the show, said, “He’s very determined that the quilts he acquires not just occupy space in his house.

What began as a small get together of sewing and knitting enthusiasts at the Tallapoosa Public Library has now grown into two separate classes that meet twice a month in the libraryâs multipurpose room. According to Library Branch Manager Karen Bowling, the original sewing class, which incorporated sewing, crocheting and knitting, was born out of Carolyn Reddishâs volunteer efforts. The first class was simply an opportunity to share sewing, knitting, crocheting, cross stitching and quilting knowledge and skills, and then it grew. Bowling says the class has also helped boost the libraryâs circulation a bit, as class members have begun checking out books on their chosen crafts or looking up patterns on the libraryâs computers. Local residents will also have a chance to give back to the community as the Tallapoosa Friends of the Library now have a set time and place for regular book sales to benefit the library. For more information on the library, its classes, or Friends of the Library, call Bowling at 770-574-3124.
