April 7Painted Quilts Across the Flint HillsSpeaker: Sue Hageman

Barn Quilts are quilt blocks that are painted on boards and placed on barns and other outdoor structures including historic buildings. Barn Quilts blend the art of quilting, agriculture in our country and the history of communities in the rural areas. It began in Adams County Ohio by Donna Sue Groves when she had a quilt block painted on a barn to honor her mother‘s love of quilting. The idea caught on in the countryside and now has moved across the nation. The Kansas Flint Hills Quilt Trail established in 2012 is Kansas’ second quilt trail. Sue Hageman is one of the committee members on the KSFHQT. You will learn the history of the American Barn Quilt Movement, the Kansas Quilt Trails, how they are made and some of the wonderful stories of the quilts and the barn quilts.

May 5“A Cooking Demonstration”Presenter: Rob Scott

Rob Scott, local chef and Director of Dining Services at Parkside Homes as well as owner of Scott Catering, will join us for a cooking demonstration, made a bit more challenging for him by the fact that the meeting space does not include a kitchen. Creative cooking, presentation, and good home-style food are the foundation of Rob’s experience and daily practices. Please join us for this delightful presentation centered around something we all love, food.

We encourage everyone to bring a favorite finger food to share. Please join us for this special celebration and time of fellowship.

Special note: Due to construction on campus, parking near the Wohlgemuth will not be available this year. However, we have made arrangements for Lifelong Learning attendees to park in the lot just south of the library.
