Current Exhibits
Jeanne Norskov Exhibit
Jeanne Norskov hand-pieced her first quilt just after graduation from Southern Missionary College, being inspired by a quilt from her grandmother.
Her quilting style took a dramatic turn when she discovered the Stack-n-Wack method by Bethany Reynolds (2001), Stack and Whackier Quilts (American Quilter’s Society) at the beginning of the 21st century. Her current creations still include traditional styles as well, and she has won ribbons in several county fairs. This display is her largest to date.
Norskov’s eye for coordinating materials illustrates her skill when choosing fabric textures and colors. Notice how the hues compliment and work together to bring forth her playful and sometimes more serious designs, delighting those that admire her work.
From the Vault Exhibit: John James Audubon Prints
A collection of original water-color paintings by John James Audubon are currently on exhibit on the library's main floor. These paintings were originally created for Birds of America. This collection was donated by Dr. Bruce Elliston, '68 and Judy Elliston, '67 in memory of Mr. E.O. Grundset, Biology faculty from 1957 to 1987.
