We're excited to welcome new Studio Assistant Hala Ammari to our administrative team. Hala will report to Business Manager Barry Holland and provide administrative support primarily during evenings and weekends.
Hala is a second-year pre-med student at Bellarmine University. She hopes to one day become a cardiothoracic surgeon. Hala regularly practiced Pilates in her hometown of Georgetown, Kentucky before heading to college, and she has a strong commitment to health and wellness as well as helping others. She serves as Student Manager of the Division 1 men's lacrosse team at Bellarmine and was Student Council President at her high school in Georgetown. She is excited to bring her positive energy, professionalism, and enthusiasm for learning to Holly's Pilates Village.
Long-time Pilates student Pattie Green won 2nd prize in the Senior Quilting Division last month at the Kentucky State Fair for her entry shown above. Pattie created the intricate design of psychedelic colors for her son Dominic, who is a fan of the rock band Phish. It was her first State Fair entry, but it probably won't be her last.
“I've had a lot of people say over the years, 'you should enter your quilts in the fair or exhibits,'” she said. “This year, I thought, 'let's go.' I'll do it again.”
Pattie is a self-taught quilter who hand cuts and sews all of her creations. It's a laborious process, but one that brings her joy and by extension she shares that joy with others. A former nurse at Kosair Children's Hospital, Pattie said she made quilts over the years for babies she cared for and, sometimes, for families who lost children to illness.
Despite having painful arthritis in her hands, Pattie says, “Thank God, they still work for quilting.”
