LQG Partners with 2010 Special Olympics and IQSC
Members of the Lincoln Quilters Guild have made five quilts from blocks designed and created by Special Olympics Athletes from across the United States. One of the quilts will be selected by the IQSC and placed in their permanent historical collection, another will go to the Nebraska Special Olympics office, and the remaining three have been raffled to help support the Special Olympics. Thanks to our quilt makers, Ginny Harvey, Joyce Pope, Rebecka Schafer, Shirley Chaffin, Sheila Green, Gloria Smith, Sara Velder, Tanna Kinnamon and Kristine Predmore!

A Call for Quilt Entries
We received this note from Teri Quinn:"The Laurtizen (Omaha) Botanical Gardens is going to have a quilt show in conjunction with their annual mum show. The IQSC will be involved, and we want to reach as many quilters as we can in the state to ask them to send in pictures of their best botanical quilts to be considered for this JURIED show. We are also looking for vendors who can offer high quality, ready made fiber goods for sale. We'll also have quilt shops as vendors."
