Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch to Feature ‘Pieceful’ Shores Quilt Display and Demonstration

Celebrate Women’s History Month and National Quilting Day at the Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch. Quilts by members of the Pieceful Shores Quilt Guild will be on display throughout the month of March. The group will present a live quilting demonstration in the Branch, 10 AM until 2 PM Saturday, March 16.

Quilts and the artisans who create them occupy a prominent spot in American life and lore. Members of Manahawkin-based Pieceful Shores will explain time-honored and evolving traditions, discuss the meanings of patterns, colors and styles, and answer questions about the quilts displayed in the Branch’s lobby display showcase.

The quilting exhibit and demonstration are free and open to the public. No registration is necessary. For more information, stop by the OCL Long Beach Island Branch, 217 South Central Avenue, Surf City, visit www.theoceancountylibrary.org/events, or call (609) 494-2480.
