Arabesque

Arabesque

"Arabesque" was unveiled Saturday evening at Quilt Nebraska 2009. This 90" x 96" quilt of blues, rusts and golds was made by friends of our incoming president, Sandy Hanson, for our NSQG 2010 Raffle Quilt. Often working together in creating quilts, Mary Sue Suit from Sidney, Nebraska, designed, pieced and appliquéed this striking quilt and Judy Woodworth from Gering added pizzazz with her machine quilting expertise.

The drawing for the quilt will be at Quilt Nebraska 2010 at North Platte, Nebraska, on July 24, 2010.

If you would like to display the quilt and sell raffle tickets in your community or at one of your events, and didn’t sign up at Quilt Nebraska to do so, please let Vickie know as soon as possible so she can add it to the schedule.
