DeKalb library to host needle-felting program Dec. 29

Carolyn McQuillan sews strips of fabric together while making a ruffled "Trixie" bag as a sample for her Clare quilt shop, Basketcases Unlimited. According to McQuillan, customers and workshop participants enjoy the traditional crafts of quilting and sewing and use the art to escape the rush of everyday life.
