March - National Quilting Month


As a way to honor National Quilting Month, we chose to watch an episode from The Kentucky Quilt Project's Why Quilts Matter: History, Art & Politics. This is a very interesting and inspiring series that was aired on Public Television. The 2-disc set can be found in our library.  This nine-part television series presents quilts as more than just a hobby. It takes the viewer on a journey and introduces new ideas and uncovers the depth of the quilt culture through history.


During our break there were two demonstrations to stop by and see.  Debbie Barrett showed how to make chenille quick and simple.  And Aggie Straub did a "Fold and Stitch" runner. 
 









During the day Cathey Newhouse held a workshop on Ricky Tims Kaladoscope quilt.  Linda Burke had her strata piece from the workshop with her.  I'm sure it's very simple but it sure looks complicated!
