We were able to collect enough money for 2 scholarships at our “passing of the magician’s hat” at our last convention, and NSQG is also providing one scholarship, so that makes 3 new people to make happy!We need nominations from you! This QuiltNebraska scholarship is for a Current Member who has never attended QuiltNebraska. Nominations can be made by an State Quilt Guild member or you can nominate yourself! We would like a short bio of the person who is nominated for the scholarship.
