The Holiday party was hilarious and not horrible at all. Good food, fun and friends was center stage as the LMQG board and members put on a murder mystery, Horrible Happenings at the Winery.
The culprit has been apprehended! We know who killed Polly Ester!
A special thanks to the cast of the play: Sheila Green, Kris Jarchow, Mary Dittenber, Liz Thanel, Linda Crump, Nancy Goff, Phyllis Higley, Jennifer Van Dyke, Sarah Masseth, Peg Penell, Linda Gale, Kristina Morrow and Juliette Karjala.

We have received wonderful praise for our contributions to Art Market from the IQSCM.
Dear Members of Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild,
On behalf of the Friends of the IQSCM, thank you kindly for the
great show of support during our recent Art Market. The lovely and generously donated
quilted silent auction quilt was amazing!
Your help in the kitchen and in supplying food was invaluable. Ana a number of you donated items to be sold
as well. We are so grateful for everything
you did.
Thank you for your commitment to Friends and to Quilt
House. We are so appreciative!
Kind Regards,
Diane Harris, President Friends of the IQSCM

"...I look back over the months of planning and it’s easy to see
what amazing support the LMQG provided in this endeavor.
·
I know that many LMQG members provided donations
for the Friends table but in most cases I don’t know the names and specifics of
the donations because many came in anonymously to Quilt House. So I must rely on this letter to express my
thanks to each of you.
·
The silent auction quilt was a wonderful
addition to the Market. I think we all hoped the quilt would go for even more
than the $600 because it was certainly worth more, but that was still a very
impressive amount. And the quilt added
such class to the Market.
·
When Sheila told me that the LMQG had agreed to
provide the sandwiches for both days of the Market plus staff the kitchen, I
thought I’d died and gone to heaven! It
was such a gift to me as chair to know that I didn’t need to fret about the
food. And, when going through the vendor
evaluations, every vendor commented on how much the food helped them. Things like that go a long way in bridging
the very generous 40% they donate back to the IQSCM as vendors. And isn’t it interesting how things of
thoughtfulness (I.e. the food provided, watching their tables while they take a
break, helping them load and unload) make such a difference.
Thank you for giving back so generously to the IQSCM. We are richly blessed to have this amazing
museum of quilts in our community.
With kind regards,
Dorothy Heidemann-Nelson
