Several LNT members ventured to Western Kentucky University to view the exhibit Kaleidoscope:  Kentucky Museum Quilts.  Kaleidoscope showcases thirty rarely seen or previously unseen quilts.  Made in twenty-eight different patterns, they range in age from the 1820s through the 1970s.  While many of these quilts illustrate high levels of artistry, others are less accomplished in […]

Susan, one of our guild members, is one of the most creative people I know.  She got this idea about a quilted 3-D Christmas tree while browsing at the Christmas goods at a hobby store, and made it happen.  Members quilted Christmas fabrics on both sides of a thick stabilizer, cut out 2 trees, one […]

The Cuddle Care Committee has been B-U-S-Y!  Even though we are over our expected number of completed Cuddle Care quilts for the year, we just can’t let Christmas pass without making something special for the little ones in the hospital.  The committee embroidered a dozen or so Christmas theme pictures for the center, and cut […]

Some lucky little girl will love this paper doll […]

The Double Diamond Ruler is a fast way to add distinctive, dimensional diamonds for use in a multitude of projects, and I would call Susan our resident Double Diamond expert.  She not only showed the group how to use the special ruler, but helped everyone complete their sample.  Some of her Double Diamond projects – […]

The fair this year was as fun and exciting as ever!!  LNT volunteers filled the demonstration area on LNT Day at the Fair, working on several of the many things we have learned in the guild.  The gift box quilt, cord baskets, and Maryhurst bags all drew complimentary comments from visitors, and there was constant […]

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!”  Robbie taught the cutest quilt block that looks like a gift.  Although the “wrapping paper” on the blocks can represent any holiday, we all chose Christmas.  The directions were simple enough that some people made several.  Thank you, Robbie, for teaching us this new block. . If […]

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 […]
