Calling all Quilter Librarians!!

It's time for the 2007 ALA Auction Quilt! Each year since 2000 quilter/librarians from all over the U.S. (and abroad--hi, Tutu) have collaborated on a quilt that is contributed to the Silent Auction at the American Library Association Annual Conference. Proceeds from our efforts have raised more than $2000 for graduate library school scholarships.

This year's quilt is "Random Stars," featuring bright Variable Stars on a common black-on-black background. The stars range from 3" to 12".

Anyone who works in, for, or with libraries can participate. (You can be an MLS librarian, support staff, a trustee.) Kits cost $8 and include a FQ of the common fabric and two 4"x12" brights (enough for 2 6" stars). The fee helps defray the cost of fabric to finish the quilt and for professional long-arming.

Completed blocks are due March 10, so NOW is the time to tell me you'd like to play -- I will send you my address.

Thanks for your interest.

Why did I get a sudden flash of an orangutan sitting and doing hand-quilting? ;-) (No offense to any librarian quilters out there.)

Does it count when you're a reader? Too busy writing my third book to even read much except for the research. Good luck! Nann.

It's feasible... I just recently read that "When worried, the Librarian tends to hide under a blanket in his book-lined nest in a cubby hole under a desk in the middle of the library."

I dare say that in Ankh-Morpork hiding under a blanket* and hand-quilting may look similar.

But don't say 'monkey' and don't say 'blanket."
