About the events
May's project will be Quilt Squares. This month we will be creating quilt blocks for the Jefferson County Memorial Quilt project. The project this year is meant to recognize and memorialize 34 residents of Jefferson County who were lynched during the period between the Civil War and WWII.
Create Birmingham will be holding an additional quilting session here at the library on Saturday June 28th. Their project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Black Cherry Tree Project, The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, Bib & Tucker Sew-Op, and the Jefferson County Memorial Project.
