Lincoln Quilt Guild sponsors National Quilt Day at the International Quilt
Study Center & Museum, here in Lincoln every year.
This year only Quilts of Valor group was asked to meet and greet guests and display our QOV's.
Our local QOV group has been very busy to ensure we had plenty of quilts to display.
It's free admission and quilting related demos, lectures and tour the current exhibitions in the museum.

ReplyDeleteI want to send a big Thank You to the Nebraska QOV group. My father, a Navy veteran of WWII, is 86 years old and in very poor health. Yesterday he recieved his QOV.
ReplyDeleteTo say it made his day and ours as a family to see him so honored is quite an understatement.
