This lovely and unique quilt was handcrafted by Diane Ramsey, wife
of Charles Ramsey, Executive Director of NALD. Diane succeeded in
creating a very realistic portrayal of a library with this Library
Quilt, which looks like a bookcase on the wall. The quilt has the
acronyms of some of the major literacy organizations in Canada,
stitched on some of the books. The quilt, a traditional New Brunswick
handicraft, harmonizes very well with
Scovil
House, the home of NALD. Scovil House is a Queen Anne Revival
style building that was built in 1910, and named after a school
superintendent whose home it once was. Shown in the photo, is Diane
with her masterpiece. |
