This past week I visited the Cottonwood Quilt Guild in Omaha, Nebraska. My contact, Nel, was wonderful. She and all of the guild members gave me a great Nebraska welcome! To learn more about this guild visit their website at http://www.cottonwoodquilters.org/
Here are some of the members who attended the evening….
and then the morning lecture. A very large guild and the meetings were well attended.
Judy brought her finished “Garden Medley” project to share. Judy took this workshop with me a while ago and thought I would like to see it finished. She is right. I love knowing they get finished. Thanks for sharing Judy.
Nel said if we had time we should visit the University of Nebraska’s International Quilt Study Center and Museum in Lincoln. It was worth the hour drive north of Omaha.
There was a very nice exhibit of antique quilts. Many of them were from Pennsylvania. Here are just a few.
There was a fantastic exhibit of Michael James’ new work entitled: Ambiguity & Enigma. I love his new work.
Some of the ladies from the guild said that while we were in Lincoln we should stop and visit one of their favorite quilt shops, the Cosmic Cow. All I can say is “Holy Cow!” I did not think one could fit and tastefully display over 5,000 bolts of fabric in such a compact area. It was heavenly. http://cosmiccowfabricsandquilting.com/
Under or over each grouping of bolts are smaller shelves with corresponding fat quarters. I say, “Wow to the Cosmic Cow”!
Until next week……..
