The Thimbles and Threads Quilt Show

The 2007 quilt show at the Festival was super. Each year the Thimbles and Threads Quilt Guild diplays at the Methodist Church a wonderful collection of quilts, wall hangings, jackets, and other handmade items that the members create throughout the year.

Members make cuddle quilts for children who have illnesses or who are suffering from a traumatic experience such as the loss of a parent or loss of a home. The first Kid's Quilt was presented to a child in 1999, and the project continues with over 80 quilts having been given so far to comfort children.

Judy loves to sew and really appreciates all the guild members. She has learned so much from the group. Sewing is certainly a passion and I appreciate seeing the joy she gets from her craft.
