Threads Across Nebraska: Quilts, shopping, fun!
If you’re in or near Nebraska, I hope you’ll join me at Threads Across Nebraska in Kearney Friday and Saturday.
I’m very excited to have 30 of my quilts on exhibit during this event, hosted by Nebraska State Quilt Guild. And I’ll have more quilts in my vendor booth, something that is new for me. I might be in over my head with the vending but I trust that people will give me grace as I learn how to do it.
I’ll be doing a “walk-and-talk” through my exhibit at least once each day, likely around 10 each morning.
This is a casual stroll past the quilts, chatting about the quilts and sharing some of their stories. I’m looking forward to this a lot. I realized yesterday that I’m not nervous about this because it will just feel like talking about quilts with my friends. Nothing comes more naturally to me!
I had to leave out a few quilts that I wish I could have included but they’ll be in my booth so I hope you will stop by to see them. I’ll have a bunch of stuff for sale:
Featherweight sewing machines, vintage quilts and tops, Stash Bandit scrap bags, curated fat quarter bundles and several patterns of my designs.
Quilted by Julie Lecher.
I’m also running a special for quilt guilds to which I can drive: Book a trunk show for $425 ($100 off) and a class for $500 ($200 off) and pay only one-way mileage (50% off) when you book by October 15!
If this sounds good, be sure to get in touch soon and we’ll find a date that works for both of us. My 2026 is filling up fast so please don’t delay. I’d love to visit your group!
If you’re not close enough to attend Threads, I’m putting together some exciting things for 2026 and I can’t wait to tell you all about them. Until then, quilt on!

I have attended different presentations and lectures of yours and loved them. I wish you’d write a book! I’d love to have it all in one place. I’ll bet you have enough material to write two books!

I heard you are presenting and teaching a class in Oklahoma City on March 27, 2026. Are you available on Saturday the 28th and possibly also Sunday the 29th to do intro to improv classes also in Oklahoma City but for the Modern quilt guild? If so, would like to know maximum size and your fee. Thank you.! Cheryl
