Program Description

Children in Grades 3-5 are encouraged to come to the library to learn how to quilt using English Paper Piecing (EPP). EPP is a hand sewing technique that uses paper templates and fabric to create quilt blocks. Participants will learn the basic techniques and work to complete a small project to take home. No previous sewing experience is needed.  

During the registration window for this program, registration can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6168, or by visiting the Help Desk at the Library and registering in person. Registration is limited to 10 kids.

Hearing Device Assistance

To accommodate hard-of-hearing patrons, the library offers the use of assistive listening devices in each Community Room and in each Children’s Program Room. For these devices to work, the presenter must use the room’s sound system. For the clearest sound, make sure the device is unobstructed by clothing or jewelry and sit in the first few rows.
If you experience connectivity issues, please let a staff member know. A guide on using the assistive listening devices is available.
