"Midwest Transplant Donor Quilt & Quilt Class Exhibit"
June 1 - July 1, 2012
Midwest Transplant Network's (MTN) Donor Memorial quilt is dedicated to the memory of all those who have given gifts of life through organ, tissue or eye donation. Since its beginning in the year 2000, hundreds of families have chosen to honor their loved one by creating a quilt square in his/her memory.
Many families choose to adorn their loved one's quilt square with special details such as a photograph, poem, quote or symbol of the donor's life. MTN's Donor Memorial Quilt is a work in progress. There is no deadline and it is never finished.
The Local Quilting Class exhibit will feature the quilts created in quilting classes offered through the Continuing Education Program at the Dane G. Hansen Museum. Janie Lowry of Stockton, Kansas, has led the classes for several years and is well known in the area for her quilting expertise. The quilters have worked very diligently on their projects using different techniques, pattersn, fabrics and designs and are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to display their talents and finished products.
