Neighborhood Association Approves Digital Quilt Design

Digital Quilt 

Our Digital Quilt design has stitched together nicely! Created as a composite, using images we shot of the treasured objects provided to us by members of the community, the Mandala-inspired image contains elements from items as diverse as a hope chest, motorcycle, and wooden chess piece among many others. 

With this design, we have attempted to capture the spirit of pride, richness of legacy, and fraternal bond of teamwork underlying the values that participating residents have expressed during their interviews. 





Street Banner 

During a special meeting held on February 2nd, members of the Neighborhood Association met for an unveiling of the Digital Quilt and to discuss design options for their street banner. Below is their final selection for the flag that will be welcoming visitors to the Lucky Horseshoe during the 2012 season at Churchill Downs.

Association members chose this particular design for the way that the sepia-toned colors represent the value they place on heritage, and the warm feeling of home they want to convey as hosts to the Kentucky Derby's yearly guests. The banner will hang at gateway points throughout the Lucky Horseshoe, introducing this newly adopted neighborhood name to locals, repeat visitors, and newcomers alike!
