Thank you Kenan Center. We couldn’t do what we do without you.

Today is National Quilting Day! 🧶 We'd like to take this opportunity to highlight the Kenan Quilter's Guild, one of the Kenan Center's long-standing affiliate groups.

In a nutshell, they preserve and promote the art of quilting!

The Quilters' Guild supports the Kenan Center by making an Opportunity Quilt each year, presenting a biennial Quilt Show in the Kenan Arena, and presenting other quilt-related programs and events throughout the community.

The story of Stitch Buffalo

What a wonderful idea!

In Finland, public libraries are expanding far beyond bookshelves — now offering tools that help stitch lives together, quite literally. Across several cities, sewing machines have become part of the standard lending catalog, allowing low-income visitors to repair clothes instead of throwing them away. These aren't tucked into obscure corners but placed in bright, welcoming craft zones where visitors can sit, sew, and save.

The machines are free to use and require no special registration. Alongside them are boxes of donated fabric, thread spools, scissors, and pins — everything needed for basic mending or light tailoring. Librarians sometimes offer tutorials or printed guides, helping first-time users fix zippers, shorten sleeves, or reinforce worn-out seams.

For many, these stations offer more than clothing repair. They become quiet spaces of focus, creativity, and pride. Visitors leave not just with stitched garments but a renewed sense of resourcefulness. Some even return with friends, teaching one another how to sew or create small upcycled items from scraps.

This initiative fits within Finland’s broader culture of sustainability, where reuse is valued and waste is carefully avoided. By making such tools accessible to everyone, libraries are redefining their purpose — turning from knowledge hubs into hands-on sanctuaries for practical living.

With each stitch made in these shared spaces, Finland proves that mending doesn’t just restore fabric — it strengthens the threads of community.

Hopefully Niagara County will have a Quilt of Valor group in the coming year.

****A vendor purchase in a brown paper bag was left in the cafe Saturday at lunch time. If it is yours contact me here and we will get it back to you. ****

What a wonderful weekend we had. Everything went well in spite of the Bills loss and the snow. Thank you to those who attended and were so gracious. See you in 2 years on November 5-7, 2027.
