President’s Message . Board of Directors Dear NSQG Members, Sandra Kosch President Have you noticed the cooler temperatures? The beautiful leaves are 355 S Walnut St. Shelby, NE 68662 gone, moisture has fallen and soon the snow will cover the ground. 402-527-5676 [email protected] This is my favorite time of the year with so many in-door activities--- Alice Cruz President-Elect especially the quilting! 15337 California St. Omaha, NE 68154 402-498-2793 [email protected] I think how fortunate we are---to be quilting during this “time”. We don’t need the light from the fireplace to help us see the completion Barb Hinrichs Secretary 921 Cedar St. Lexington, NE 68850 of our handwork; we have electricity. We don’t need to weave our 308-324-7218 [email protected] cloth; we can purchase the fabric at numerous stores. We don’t use the treadle sewing machine; we can use the electric sewing machine “with Patty Young Treasurer 2718 Pinewood Dr. Central City, NE 68826 countless bells and whistles”. We don’t need scissors to cut the many 308-379-0984 [email protected] pattern pieces; we can use the rotary cutter, plastic rulers and cutting nd mat. We don’t use cereal boxes to cut out cardboard templates; we can Gloria Bernadt (2 yr) Region I Director 122 Lawrence Rd. Hebron, NE 68370 buy and use the plastic templates and rulers. We don’t seek the use of 402-768-6662 [email protected] the “one and only pattern”; the selection is unlimited as to what we st can purchase or download from our computer. We don’t need to quilt Kay Grimminger (1 yr) Region I Director 2712 Sunnybrooke Rd GrandIsland, NE 68801 by our self; we can join a quilting group or quilting guild—local, state 308-382-8217 [email protected] or national. We don’t need to limit our quilting information; we can attend lectures, workshops, classes, retreats and conventions. We don’t Laura Franchini (2nd yr) Region II Director need to “wonder” what quilt we might sew; we can view numerous PO Box 565 Wisner, NE 68791 patterns, quilting magazines and books, quilter’s blogs or even imagine 402-529-3288 [email protected] and draw our own design. We can attend the countless quilting events, LaVonne Dunetts (1st yr) Region II Director activities, quilt shows and even quilt museums for inspiration of our 206 S 95th St. Omaha, NE 68114 future quilts. And don’t forget about the talented, professional quilters 402-399-8299 [email protected] who can help us complete our quilt. Esther Kleinkauf (2nd yr) Region III Director Our quilting world has developed beyond what I ever could have 901 Tomahawk Rd North Platte, NE 69101 imagines nearly 40 years ago. Listing what is now available for all of us, 308-532-1401 [email protected] is just the “tip of the ice berg”. I am sure the quilters of generations Shirley LaVene (1st yr) Region III Director ago, would think that the quilters of today are truly blessed. 73660 D Rd Loomis, NE 68958 308-876-2546 [email protected] Don’t you wonder what is coming next to our quilting world? I 308-991-2795 know I will enjoy seeing the next new “hot” invention or creation Susan Weber Advisor to our quilting world. Perhaps it will come from a seasoned quilter, 2425 Folkways Blvd Apt 329 Lincoln, NE 68521 who has experienced the many trials of quilting and will share his/ 402-438-4753 [email protected] her knowledge or perhaps it will come from the future quilters with 402-641-4675 never ending technical knowledge and creativity or maybe someone Membership in NSQG is open to all in-between.
