2019 Summer Learning Spotlight: Bib & Tucker Sew-Op Quilting Program

Hey teens, do you want to learn the ancient art of quilting?

Hi, Seenager. All but one of the Bib & Tucker quilting programs are for teens. But you are in luck. On July 24, 10:30 a.m., the Pratt City Branch Library will hold a Bib & Tucker quilting program for adults. Hope you get to attend!

Description: The Bib & Tucker Sew-Op will lead a quilting session saluting the Alabama Bicentennial by working on a theme saluting an unsung Alabama heroine. They will be working with an established quilting group at the Pratt City Branch Library, and other adults who quilt are welcome to attend as well.
