It was Christmas in July at the Palermo Community Library’s recent annual meeting. The scene was festive with a garland of twinkling Christmas lights strung around the refreshment table and a fire blazing on the large screen TV.
Joan Robertson donated a Christmas-themed quilt to the library, which was hung in the children’s area. Local students used crayons to color preprinted drawings on fabric squares, which were pressed to set the pigments. The squares were sewn together by Robertson, and the piece was finished off with machine quilting by award-winning quilter Diane Dixon.
