Evening Banquets
Join us Friday night for some songs around the campfire by the Robidoux Pass Musicians. Come in your best “western
duds” and enjoy all the “Stars” (your friends) over the Pine Ridge. Following dinner we'll hear from
Marsha McCloskey about feathered star quilts and throughout the evening we'll have the opportunity to bid on silent and live
auction items to help raise money for our pledge to IQSC with an update from Greg Jensen.
On Saturday come dressed as your favorite “star”. Whoever or whatever your
favorite star is - use your imagination and have fun! Our after-dinner speaker will be Ami Simms who'll have us laughing
as she talks about “Living with Quilts”. We'll have our Awards ceremony, hold the drawing for “Pineapple
Delight”, followed by Show and Tell with the unveiling of the newest raffle quilt as the finale.

Block Challenge
Can you make it???
We designed this block originally with the idea of using it as the QNE friendship block drawing but when pieced, we realized
it would be a more difficult block to make than the usual block drawing blocks. However, many of you are seasoned quilters
so we want you to show us your skills! Make the block any size you want. Put needles on the pines, glitter on
the stars- whatever. Make sure to put your name on the unfinished block - somewhere. Drop it off when you register
and we'll put it with the others on display. Pick up your own block on Saturday to take home and make into a memento
of all the fun you had at QNE 2008!!
Stars Over the Pine Ridge Challenge
Must have at least one pieced or applique star. Needs to be 3 layers and quilted, not tied. The quilt
can have a perimeter no larger than 120 inches (eg. - 24"x36", or 30" square or a circle with a 28" radius)
Awards
will be given in the following four categories:
In choosing the best in each category, consideration will also be given to degree of difficulty, workmanship
and embellishments that enhance the finished project. Decision will be made by an anonymous independent panel.

NEW PROCEDURE FOR RAFFLE QUILTS
If your guild would like to display your raffle quilt at QuiltNebraska please note that we will be doing things differently
this year. The quilts will be displayed in the Gold Room, close to the High Rise Dorm, BUT sales of the tickets will
take place in the Student Center. Please bring your quilt to the Gold Room on Thursday by 7pm, and check it in.
We will hang it for you.
EACH GUILD will keep possession of their own money/ticket bag. Each guild is responsible for selling their own
tickets. Look for the signs posted in the STUDENT CENTER for the location of the table and chairs to use for the
sales of your tickets.
We would suggest that the prime time for selling the tickets would be during meal times. It would also be nice
to have a good sized picture of your quilt with your bag so that people are sure they are buying the tickets for the quilt
they want.
Please take Challenge, Progressive, Raffle, and Teacher quilts to the Gold Room for display by 7
pm, Thursday. If you can't make it by 7 pm, or have a friend bring it, please send your item so that it arrives by Monday,
July 21, to:
Barb Engebretsen
111 May Drive
P O Box 94
Harrison, NE 69346
