From models made in miniature to quilts making a big difference, we even learned a thing or two about breakdancing.
So join us for the wide array that the Commonwealth has to offer.
And this week's Arts and Culture, a segment we call Tapestry.
We're more of a city folk, you know, and and bringing, you know, into the country from rural areas where people don't get to, you know, see, you know, this type of dance.
For the most part, it's rewarding, you know, And we love to do it just because we like to share our culture with with with everyone, you know, because our culture is all about love, you know, unity, fun and.
And that's what we like to do.
Is just to let people know.
Breakdancing was invented here.
It's an American thing.
Yes.
Just a little.
Global.
Nimble Thimbles is an educational group and also a group that deals with charities here in Louisville.
And one of our charities is Norton Children's Hospital.
And we make what we call cuddle quilts.
These are little quilts for the children.
NORTON Children's Hospital.
They work with children from preemies up to age 18.
And so we make quilts for them that they can give to the patients and they can cuddle with them.
They can they can feel comfortable with being at the hospital.
For whatever reason, they're there if they're to get a shot because of an illness, the little characters in our quilts might distract them from that shot coming in.
You know.
I think anybody can be creative and it's just a matter of finding your outlet.
I mean, I stumbled upon the little Louisville Miniature Club, got involved and haven't haven't stopped.
And that's what keeps me going.
I think it's a testament to the artistic and creative abilities of the people of Kentucky to just look around you in this room here where you've got textiles, you've got stitching, you've got culinary, you've got all of these crafts and all range of things.
I mean, there's there's a tremendous amount of creativity in this state, and this is an excellent example of that management skills.
It's it's just part of the celebration of the state.
And as you say, it's been going on for 120 years.
So they must be doing something right.
Must be.
The Kentucky State Fair will conclude its 120th run this Sunday, the 25th.
So check it out.
