The Art of Quilting - Alice

The Kempsville Library Quilt Display has become a tradition since its inception over 15 years ago.  Carol Jordan, a former Kempsville Library staff member and a member of the Tidewater Quilt Guild, envisioned the display of a quilt to cover a large wall located near the Accounts Desk.  This wall area, visible from all angles of the public floor, was the perfect place to display these full-sized works of art. The staff began to hang Carol’s original, handmade quilts for the enjoyment of staff and customers.  As the seasons changed, everyone looked forward to the next featured quilt.  Even though Carol has retired from the library department, she is still an avid library user and assists us in continuing this tradition.  As the seasons change, Carol, the staff, and members of the Tidewater Quilt Guild lend their quilts for this display.  Customers return regularly to see what the next eye-catching design will be!

Our own Robin made this beautiful "I Love October" quilt!
