Come join the fun at the Lincoln MQG Holiday party December 3rd, 2018 

at the NSEA Bldg, 605 S. 14th, 3-6 PM

Can you guess who done it?

LMQG Murder Mystery Christmas Party, "Horrible Happenings at the Winery" (members only). Please bring finger foods--appetizers and desserts to share. Moscato Sangria and other drinks will be provided or BYOB. Please consider carpooling as parking is limited. If you arrive after 3 pm, there will be a number on the door to call for entry. The Twisted Threadz Quilt Guild is caught up in misfortune, mistakes and mystery. Guild members are hanging a quilt exhibit in the lobby of the LeLushious Grapes Winery when the power goes out. When the lights go back on Polly Esther is missing! What happened to her and who caused it? A quilt is created as the search goes on. Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild members, join us!

2018 dues will also be accepted at the party.

We are so excited to share news about our Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln Raffle Quilt!  

The quilt raised $3950 for Habitat of Humanity, thanks to our $2,450 in ticket sales and cash donations and $1,500 in matching funds.  

The drawing was held at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum during our Sew Day.  

The Winner is Rennie Austin of Lincoln! 

 Rennie purchased her raffle ticket during National Quilting Day last March at the IQSCM.  She is a quilter and a former 4th grade teacher (taught the history of Nebraska in her classroom). Congratulations, Rennie!  It was a pleasure to meet you and know that our quilt has a wonderful new home.

The quilt was our QuiltCon Charity Quilt for 2017 and hung at QuiltCon in Savannah, GA last February.
