Aboite Branch

Meeting Room

Experience the artistry, symbolism, and craftsmanship of quilting at our Bed Turning program, where each stitch tells a story.

Join us for a quilt "Bed Turning" done by the Sisters of the Cloth Quilting Guild, Inc. of Fort Wayne.  From narratives about civil rights and family history to explanations of creative processes and painstaking labor, bed turnings amplify the stories embedded in quilts. Join us for this engaging presentation and discover how quilts were used for warmth, artistic expression, and even as coded messages.

This program is part of the One County, One Book community-wide reading initiative encouraging the community to read and engage with a single book! This year's One County, One Book selection is "Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America" by journalist and NPR host Steve Inskeep. 

This initiative aims to unite people of all ages and backgrounds through programs, book clubs, and a community discussion with the author himself. Click Here to learn more. 

Space is limited; register in advance to reserve your spot and receive reminders. Registration will guarantee your seat until the event begins. Accessibility needs? Please contact ask@acpl.info as soon as possible - we’d love to help.
