Meet Your Neighbor Series - Bed Turning: Quilts with Francie Johnson
Thursday, Apr. 13, 6:30-7:30pm
“Bed turning” is a unique way of telling the stories and histories of quilts. Historically, quilters would host bed turnings as social events to show off their quilts by layering several on a bed. A quilt aficionado with extensive experiences in the quilting world, Boylston neighbor Francie will bring in some of her collection. She invites you to bring any of your pieces for show and discussion. There are many various styles of quilts, and Francie will show us some of the different variations.
Boylston Library's Meet Your Neighbor series showcases local talent, skills, and knowledge while providing an opportunity to get acquainted with various community members. If you know someone local who might want to participate in this ongoing series, please email publiclibrary@boylston-ma.gov
