WOODS HOLE VILLAGE QUILT 2007
The Woods Hole quilt is a communal work of art created by friends
of the Woods Hole Public Library as a gift to the Library and the
community, as well as a fund-raiser for the Library. A Library
image in the center of the quilt is surrounded by renderings of
the post office, Community Hall, WHOI's Bigelow Laboratory cupola,
Taft's Playground, MBL's Candle House, Bradley House, the Woods
Hole School, the bell tower, Nobska Lighthouse, a Spritsail, a
harbor seal, and two biological illustrations. About twenty artists
and quilters worked on the quilt in 2006 and 2007, and it was hung
in the Library stairwell in early 2008.
Notecards depicting high-quality images of each quilt square are
available for sale in the library. The cards are printed on white
card stock and are 5.5” high and 4.5” wide. A postcard
of the same size displays the entire quilt.
A single card with envelope is priced at $1.50. Eight cards are being
sold for $10.00. A complete set of cards (18 cards plus 4 postcards
of the whole quilt) is priced at $25.00 and is packaged in a clear
plastic sleeve with ribbon. A single postcard is priced at $1.25
or 12 for $10.00.
These cards make wonderful thank you notes and invitations. The complete
set makes a nice gift! Profits from the sales support the library.
