Quilt Exposure/Prayer Request

A long time back, I saw an article about a quilt guild in Texas (I think) that had made quilts to go with children's books to be displayed at school libraries and summer rec programs etc. I thought it was a lovely idea. At the time, I approached our children's librarian about doing a quilt related story time or two. I just never quite got to it. Recently, new town, new library, I decided to fill out the volunteer application that came in the "Get to Know Your Library" packet we received with our new library cards. At the bottom, I put a note that I would be particularly interested in doing story hour related to children's literature and quilts. Today (the third time this week) while we were at the library, the Director came out, with my application, and said that she would be very interested in talking to me some more about the story hour and would I bring in some samples, for her. So. . . I am now scrounging to pull together all my children's quilt stories, and to finish three small quilts to share. Oh, she also asked if this could be used in a display in the library. Yikes! That is really putting them out there. It's both exciting and scary at the same time. So pray that she is impressed with the real thing as she is with the idea. Pray that this is the direction we should be going in. And maybe even pray that we find a real house to rent where I could work (teach quilt classes) from home and we'd have a real yard again. We miss our yard A LOT!!!!! Blessings, MaggieRaye |
