KEHA Quilt Squares Needed
Kentucky Extension
Homemakers Association
has a quilt square
fundraising program to be
held at the state meeting
in May. Anyone would
like to participate should make a 12 inch
finished quilt square. (Finished means
piece square, put in batting, put on
backing, and finish the edges just like you
would complete a quilt.) Bring the finished
12 inch quilt square to the KEHA meeting
to enter in a contest. Everyone visiting the
display will receive one ticket to vote for
the quilt square they think is the grand
prize winner and the winner will be
recognized. Member attending the state
meeting will bid on the squares they would
like to purchase. Not only will this
generate money for KEHA, but it will also
provide a chance to view and enjoy them.
Please let me know if you plan to complete
a square and bring to the office by May 1st,
so it can be taken to the state meeting.
Hope some of our quilters will participate.
If you have any questions just give me a
call.

Let’s Get Some Shoes
The most important piece of
equipment for any activity-
walking, running, hiking,
tennis, basketball or aerobics-
is having the right pair of
shoes. A properly fitting shoe
can enhance performance and
prevent injuries. Choosing the sport shoe
that fits you best can be easy if you follow
these tips:
If possible, purchase shoes from a
specialty store. The staff will know
about the different shapes and styles of
shoes to help with proper fitting.
Visit the shoe store at the end of the day
because your feet normally swell a bit
during the day. This will help you avoid
buying shoes that are too small.
Make sure the shoe you pick matches
the activity you plan to do.
Wear the socks you normally wear when
working out.
If you wear orthotics, bring them along.
They influence the fit of a shoe.
Always try both shoes on because feet
are usually slightly different sizes.
When the shoe is on your foot, you
should be able to freely wiggle all of
your toes. Aim for a thumbnail’s length
of extra space in the toe box.
Your heel should not slip as you walk or
run.
Lace up the shoes then try both left and
right shoes on at the same time. Walk
on a firm surface, not a carpeted one.
Walk or run a few steps in your shoes.
Like any produce, shoes wear down over
time. Here are a few signs to look for that
indicate it is time for new shoes:
Between 300 and 500 miles of use.
Getting new or unexpected pains and
blisters from shoes.
Heels stretched out or broken down on
the shoe.
Your toes wear through the toe-box.
One shoe sole has become unevenly
worn, compared with the other shoe.
