There are dozens of colorful and artful quilts of all sizes on display in the spacious, newly renovated Cos Cob Library as seen last Saturday for the opening reception of the 12th biennial exhibit of the Common Threads Quilters. The goals of these quilters are “to designate time for work on individual projects; share ideas, techniques and enthusiasm; and to promote the art and craft of quilt making” in their community!

Beazie Larned, as one of 27 quilters exhibiting, pointed to the range of sizes. “So, there are eight quilts hanging from the rafters,” with some sizeable for bed quilts, some smaller for wall hangings, and one that is “lap size…it’s great for cuddling up on a sofa.” Larned has made a colorful green “O Christmas Tree” with tiny ornaments attached over it.
