This class was a follow-up to the Nancy Zieman video on Landscape Quilting which was viewed at our last meeting.  Today’s class could easily be called “Landscape Quilting Made Easy”.  Using a picture of their choice for inspiration and instructions from Nancy Zieman and our instructor, Marilou, attendees created a landscape quilt hanging using only […]

Marilou shared a Nancy Zieman video in preparation for the May day meeting in which we will actually work on our own landscape quilt. We know Nancy Zieman does wonderful quilting videos, but this one seemed even nicer than usual; maybe it was because of the drinks, snacks, and prizes.  Thanks, Marilou! “Show and Tell” […]

At the Spring Quilt of Valor presentation at Amvets Post 9, Marilou presented a beautiful patriotic quilt to her son, Don Jacob, U.S. Navy Seabee, and another quilt guild also made presentations.  Each of the five veterans present spoke a few words about their time in service as well as what they are now doing […]

Thanks to Marilou for creating this cute, yet simple, Zipper Quilt Table Runner pattern.  The pattern was for a table runner, which could be adapted to various lengths.  Some attendees made the table runner, while others attached two table runners to make a charity quilt.   We look forward to seeing the finished pieces at […]

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 […]
