Stories in the Stitches

Essex Library will host Stories in the Stitches; a craft program presented by the Connecticut Historical Society and Museum, on Wednesday, July 19 at 4 PM, held at the Essex Library.

In this program, children will read a story about quilting, learn the stories behind some Connecticut quilts, and then design their own quilt square using felt and fabric! Families will also take home a kit that contains an activity booklet and quilt-related activity to continue the fun!

Recommended for children ages 4-10. Limited seating, registration required. For more information about the program, please call the Essex Library at 860-767-1560 or see https://www.youressexlibrary.org/ The Essex Library is located at 33 West Avenue in Essex.

This program is made possible in part by a $2,000 Summer Enrichment Grant, issued by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Connecticut State Library.
