“Quilters” is a musical about the lives of American pioneer women based on the book “The Quilters: Women and Domestic Art” by Patricia Cooper and Norma Bradley Allen.  Last Sunday afternoon, several LNT members were both delighted and moved by this performance at Theatre Works of Southern Indiana. The first thing we noticed upon entering […]

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 […]

A foot pedal that keeps slipping and scooting away from your foot will no longer be a problem for those who attended Marilou’s “Non-Slip Foot Pedal Pad” class.  Even though she said to use ugly fabrics because, after all, it would be on the floor, these pads are beautiful!  We had a great time making […]

A Quilt of Valor is our award to those who have been touched by war.  It says “thank you for your service, sacrifice and valor” in serving our nation.  It was an honor for our guild to make and present two Quilts of Valor for two veterans in a special service this week and to […]

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 […]

Sunday was a lovely afternoon for several members to cross over into New Albany for the opening of Penny Sisto’s new show, “Love Who You Love”, at St. Paul’s Art Gallery.  The audience was first entertained by the cast of TheatreWorks of Southern Indiana who sang a couple pieces from “A Man of No Importance”, […]
