  • New West Paris Library exhibit

    WEST PARIS — The West Paris Library announces a new art exhibit entitled “Stitches from the Heart: the Crewel Work of the late Leone Bane Penley.”

    The exquisite crewel work pieces, framed and displayed with information about each work, are the creation of a woman who developed her needlework skills early in life. Leone Bane was born in Frye in 1910. As a young girl, she helped her mother by sewing, by hand, middy blouses and skirts for herself and her two sisters. This skill served her well in later years.
