Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers, allowing most articles to be changed by anyone with access to a computer and an internet connection. Fascinating! Check it out!
Quilter Susan Vassallo
Featured Artist - July and August
Susan Vassallo, a resident of Arizona, also owns property in Freedom. We were lucky to discover that she is a fabulous quilter whose painterly quilts are on display downstairs at the Library through August 31.
Susan has a degree in Fine Arts and teaching as well as a Master's in Psychology. Quilting was at first a creative outlet; later Susan became a full time artist. In addition to creating her own work, Susan inspires student to find their own means of expression.
We're grateful to Susan for her donation of a beautiful 24 x 36 quilt for our annual raffle. This colorlful beaded floral will hang in the library until August 8, when the winning ticket will be drawn. Proceeds benefit the Library programs.
Please see this unusual exhibit and write your thoughts on the comment sheet.
