Visit the Craft and Quilt Sale at KAL, April 11-12

Kimberling Area Library invites the community to a Craft and Quilt Sale, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 11 and 12. The sale will be held in the Library community rooms, 45 Kimberling Blvd. in Kimberling City. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, and attendance is FREE. 

Quilting is part of our Ozarks heritage and around the United States, dating back to the thrift and frugality of the Depression and World War II eras and long before, as families saved leftover fabric scraps to create warm, sturdy coverings, often stitching the fabric pieces into beautiful designs. Now considered an expression of love and an art form along with the practicality and nostalgia, the hobby has spawned numerous quilting clubs using an array of supplies and equipment. 

Donated from the estate of long-time area quilter Loretta Loibl, with all proceeds directed to the Kimberling Area Library, the sale will have a variety of sewing supplies, fabric, patterns and tools available, along with some of Loretta’s completed projects including table runners. Other vendors/quilters/crafters will also be on hand offering craft and quilting supplies, providing attendees with a wide variety of purchase options for their own arts and crafts, as well as completed projects for personal use or a wonderful gift idea.
