A Quilted Planet - OMQG Exhibition 2025 Information

A Quilted Planet

Modern Quilt Guild Inclusion Statement:
The Modern Quilt Guild (MQG) seeks to foster a vibrant and inclusive
organization built on encouragement and mutual respect, where all
feel welcome. We support the participation of ALL interested in the
growth and development of modern quilting and we value the diversity
arising from differences that make us who we are.

 

Venue: Tri-Faith Initiative, 13136 Faith Plaza, Omaha, NE

Tri-Faith Initiative brings together in permanent residency a synagogue, church, mosque, and interfaith center on one 38-acre campus in America’s heartland. From this intentionally built, religiously diverse space in Omaha, we bridge divides among three faith communities, neighbors throughout our larger local community, and, increasingly, people across the U.S. and around the world. Since 2006, we’ve been imagining and growing an unprecedented interfaith initiative that transforms lives and communities.     Tri- faith strives to be a best practice model, resource, and trainer forsuccessful interfaith relationships and understanding.
