Don't miss out on any Guild news!
 If you aren't a member, join the OQG Digest at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OQG200102/join.

Thes link above takes you to Yahoo where you can sign up for Yahoo (unless they already have a Yahoo userid and password) and ask to join the group. Be sure to put your preferred email address in as an alternate to the Yahoo email address. Later you can make it your primary address.

You will be asked why you want to join and at this point you need to give your full name. (Something along the line of "My name is Mary Smith and I'm an OQG member). The request to join is then forwarded to Marge B. who will approve it once she confirms your membership in the Guild.

Marge is not be able to confirm your membership from just your email or Yahoo ID. That's why it is necessary to give her your name. Once she confirms membership, you are immediately approved.

Once you are a Yahoo member, you can change your delivery options. You can choose to have your digest delivered with each email or once a day depending on your preference. Usually, people choose to have the email delivered to their current address (the alternate email address) so they don't have to check the Yahoo email everyday.  Lots of interesting information is posted on the Digest and it's all about QUILTING!

For more information on the digest, see the OQG DIGEST page.

Ever wondered what Judging is like?  Here are some pictures of this years judging.

  The Omaha Playhouse has requested OQG member Theresa Holman's quilt "Denver Log Cabin" be on display in the lobby August 21 thru Sept 27 during the run of the play The Quilters.  You probably saw Theresa's quilt in the 2009 Quilt Show. 
  Another quilt in our show, a Challenge piece by Michelle C., is being featured in the students gallery page of Nancy Kazlauckas' web page.  She was our October 2008 guest speaker.  Take a look!  
  A quilt has been made for the Camp Carol Joy Holling quilt auction in July thanks to Roberta Behm.  For details on the time and location of the quilt auction, click here.  To see the pictures of this beautiful quilt, taken by professional photographer, Jenny Matheisen, click here.
  Those people who set up the show this year commented on how much easier the frames went together.  Thanks to Joan Workman for enlisting her father-in-law to standardize all the hardware and refurbish our frames for us.  He sent us some pictures that show the scope of the job!
