Brenda brought a special quilt to our last meeting in January.  She made it for Forest, the service dog belonging to one of the veterans who received a Quilt of Valor at our last QOV Ceremony.  That veteran shared pictures of Forest and the quilt with Paws with Purpose, who then posted it on their […]

Skills School has always been a popular LNT program.  Tonight’s list of skills included:  choosing colors and shades, joining pre-quilted blocks, basting a quilt without crawling on the floor, and using the Nimble Thimbles Website. Sometimes the difference between a nice safe quilt design and a unique, exciting one is a simple change in the […]

Debbie and the Cuddle Care Committee were their very organized selves, as usual, and had prepared a table full of pastel strips and paper squares for making a variation on string blocks.  We sewed the strips diagonally onto the paper, then passed them to others who would the press and trim them.  (Sewing the fabric […]

Last fall APQS interviewed our own Cuddle Care Chair, Debbie Hampton and posted it on the APQS.com website. Below is the interview: When you’ve got a steady stream of babies arriving at the NICU, it can be hard to keep us with the demand for isolette quilts.  But Debbie Hampton is up to the task […]

In spite of frigid temperatures, ice, and no power in over 70,000 homes in the area, several members braved the elements to attend Marilou’s class on how to make a checkered Fleece Blanket with appliqués.  Making a cozy blanket while looking through the windows at a winter wonderland seemed quite suitable.  The only thing missing […]

The annual Festival of Arts for Kentuckiana Girl Scouts is designed to help girls explore new areas of the arts.  For several year the Thimbles have enjoyed being a part of this special day, and our “go-to” project has been teaching the girls to make a pin with yo-yo’s.  Thanks to Susan for gathering yo-yo […]
