“The topic of the workshop is determined by members of the club who want more information on such things as binding a quilt, squaring a block, paper piecing, applique and other skills of quilting. Nimble Thimble also offers a quarterly basic quilters workshop, typically taught by one or more seasoned quilters. Examples of service projects include generating quilts for veterans, the homeless and those in hospice, sewing baby items for WIC, creating fleece blankets and duffle bags for KidsPeace, making pillows and pillowcases for Turning Point Crisis Center and producing adult bibs, walker bags and quilts for Johnson County Senior Services. Members have many prospects to give back, both to their local community and nationwide. I always encourage others to join because not only are we a creative outlet for their craft, but it is an opportunity to meet others with the same passion, giving one an opportunity to learn from each other.” Nimble Thimble Quilt Club welcomes all – no matter race, creed, age, skill, male or female.
“Nimble Thimble members are a friendly, welcoming, generous and gracious group who enjoy sharing their creative skills such as quilting, sewing and other needlework,” said Jan Haley, member and past president of Nimble Thimble. The Nimble Thimble Quilt Club is a service-oriented group and member of the Johnson County Homemakers. Joining a quilt club also helps to connect people with a common interest. People are discovering quilting not only provides a creative outlet, but may also relieve stress, boost concentration and help to lower blood pressure. Quilting has become popular again in recent years.
