OUTREACH AND EXTENSION VIRTUAL PROGRAM
AUgust 2020: Folk art, quilting and barn quilts
The Extension and Outreach Department at the Tiffin-Seneca Public Library allows the Library to come to you! For groups who can't make it to the Library, such as persons with disabilities, home-bound, or those who live in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, our Extension and Outreach Manager Beth Gottfried makes sure you have all the Library materials you need! In addition to making those important deliveries, she gives presentations at these facilities that are designed to rekindle memories and encourage sharing about bygone days, as well as entertain and educate.
Even though Beth hasn't been able to visit these facilities the last few months, we want to continue to provide our senior population with the entertaining and educational presentations they get from Beth!
This month, the theme is Folk Art, Quilting and Barn Quilts! Beth will share the history of folk art and quilting, and will talk about barn quilts and their influence in Seneca County. What is a barn quilt? A barn quilt is a large piece of painted wood that looks like a single quilt block and decorates the side of a barn. A barn quilt craft will follow the presentation.
Also check out these fun resources, including several word searches and images to assist in your barn quilt craft!
