The Nimble Thimbles are a group of quilters who enjoy getting together regularly to share our quilting obsession adventures. We love to celebrate, help and inspire each other – and consider the resulting accumulation of many UFOs a small price to pay! We’ve been meeting for about 8 fun-filled years and enjoy every minute of it. During the DOQ May meeting we will be showing both our group and individual projects throughout the years. To see more of what we’re doing, visit our blog. Our night group is open to additional membership and meets monthly at the Orange County Library. Any interested quilters should contact Joy Murphy for further information.
