Weaving fabric was a very relaxing project for the end of a long day.  Strips of fabric of varying widths (or the same width) were woven together, to be pressed to interfacing to prepare them to be used in a project, such as place mats, hanging, purse, quilt, etc.  The only limit is your imagination!

Penny’s fiber art quilt knowledge and life experiences were an inspiration for everyone.  In addition to her beautiful stories, Penny shared her quilting processes as well as many of the techniques she incorporates, and the attendees were able to actively participate in the creations.  Our own Sangeeta had an opportunity to do some sewing on […]

“Wow”, “Extraordinary”, “Stunning”, “Unbelievable”, “Incredible”, “Amazing”.  These are just a few of the words of awe uttered by some of the LNT members who visited Penny Sisto’s “The Sixties – Turn on, Tune in, Drop out!” exhibit at The Carnegie Centre in New Albany.  Penny, a celebrated mixed-media fiber artist, shares themes of cultural and […]

This was an incredibly productive day!  A dozen or so members worked until early afternoon completing more Cuddle Care quilt-tops to quilt at our Cuddle Care-athon in July.  Some experimented with the Disappearing Nine-Patch using some of the 9-patch blocks remaining from the Cuddle Care meeting earlier this year, and others worked on strip quilts. […]

Entering the Jeffersonian was a treat tonight!  The Cuddle Care Committee arrived early to cover the walls with the quilt tops made at the Cuddle Care meeting in January.  Notice the backgrounds in the pictures and you’ll see why we have been so excited about making the nine-patch quilts this year.  These beautiful quilt tops […]

After many months of preparation, Quilters’ Day Out arrived and went as scheduled in spite of extreme flooding throughout the area.    Sometimes it takes more than record high water levels to keep quilters away! The arrangement for the guild booths was different this year, and we enjoyed the nice open area and being able […]

It was a pleasure to have Donna Duncan present the KHQS Challenge Quilt Exhibit.  The twenty-six quilts in this exhibit were made in response to Past KHQS President Sarah Scarborough Frye’s challenge to KHQS members. The Challenge involved finding a picture (photo, painting, etc.) that the quiltmaker liked (this could be one she/he had made, […]

Pam, our Half Square Triangle Queen, explained to the group several methods she has used for making half square triangles and showed examples.  Then she focused on one of her favorites of easily making eight half square triangles from 2 layer cake squares (or other size squares).  Less than an hour later, the room was […]

Debbie and the Cuddle Care Committee did a fabulous job preparing for this day!  Donated fabrics, pre-cut in 4 1/2″ strips, were grouped by colors to be made into nine patches to be sewn with pre-cut white 12-inch squares to make quilt tops for the babies and children at Norton’s Hospital.  Members came ready to […]
