Louisville Nimble Thimbles is 39 years old this August, so we celebrated with our annual Birthday Party.  And what a party it was!  Everyone brought their favorite pot luck dish, and there was the usual overabundance of food.  The organizing committee required that a birthday party hat be worn in order to access the food […]

This year’s 2nd Annual Children’s Quilt Show featured amazing quilts from 20 of the area’s younger quilters.  The quality of their work, especially considering this was a first quilt for most, was quite impressive!  The participants and guests enjoyed refreshments and games during the afternoon.  We want to give a special thanks to the McMahon […]

Fran is demonstrating how to […]
