In anticipation of the United States Bicentennial in 1976, Albion resident Kathy Pewsey knitted the American flag that is on display through the month of July at the Albion District Library.

 Pewsey worked from a McCall’s Needlework and Crafts pattern but put her own creative touch on it by changing the material for the stars from felt to crochet, and it won a ribbon at the Calhoun County Fair in 1976.  The flag visited California and Texas when Pewsey traveled cross-country in her camper van; now it has a permanent home in her bedroom.

 The Library is looking for other fabric artists who would like to show their work.  The locked showcase measures approximately 67” x 55” and has a hanging rod. If your project is larger, perhaps it could be folded.  If you are interested in displaying a quilt or fabric art, please contact the Library.
