For those of you not at the meeting last evening, we will be doing a members Mini quilt swap as our next challenge. Nancy will be pairing up the participants, so if you would like to participate, please send Nancy a message with your name, preferred colors and any style or techniques you would like used. I need this info by Friday, May 31.
Happy Swapping!
On behalf of the Omaha Quilters Guild. Our guild hosts a quilt show each year in June. We display approximately two hundred quilts. The quilts range in size from small wall hangings to large bed quilts. They encompass a variety of styles and patterns, from traditional to modern. The work may be done by hand or machine, and may be appliqued or pieced. Some of the quilts are judged and awarded ribbons. In addition, we have a variety of vendors displaying their wares, along with a chance to purchase a ticket to win a beautiful quilt made by one of our members. The drawing for this quilt is held at the end of the show. (You need not be present to win!) We also have a mercantile with items of interest to quilters. Finally, we have a section reserved to showcase the quilts made by our featured quilter. This year’s featured quilter is award-winning OQG member, Janelle Reed.
We all enjoy connecting with other quilters and being able to share our love of quilting. We are sure that you and your fellow quilters would enjoy viewing the variety of quilts that will be on display at the show so we are inviting your members to attend. The show will be held at the La Vista Conference Center, 12520 Westport Parkway in La Vista. There is free parking available at the hotel.
