The Nebraska State Quilt Guild, 6325 Tanglewood Lane, Lincoln NE 68516
"The Heartland Quilt Network
is an organization of quilting guilds, professional quilt teachers and quilt shops.
The purpose of HQN is to share information with members about programs,
workshops, teachers,
quilt shows and quilting events in the 4 state area (and possible surrounding areas as
well) of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa. Guilds have found this to be especially
helpful in sharing teachers with other guilds and shops to help programs be very cost
effective for everyone. Yearly membership is $15.00 per guild, shop or teacher. The
membership fiscal year runs from July 1 - June 30.Yearly membership includes a full
directory of all members, quarterly newsletter and biannual meetings usually held in
October and April. At the meetings members can share information in person. Members have
the opportunity to promote: Guilds - meetings, workshops, local teachers, speakers, and
quilt shows. Shops - classes and teachers Teachers - lectures and workshops andshow
samples of their work if they desire." For information contact: Jane Buckley -cjanequilt@aol.com
