Quilt Show
Although South Dakota ranch wife, Yvonne Hollenbeck, is one of the most published and award-winning cowgirl poets in America, she is also an avid quilter and quilt historian, especially regarding quilts made on the great plains. Yvonne has a collection of family quilts spanning 150 years, all made by members of her family, most of which were made on farms and ranches on the prairies of Nebraska. This has become one of the most popular programs in a large area and attending this program, called “Patchwork of the Prairie,” you will not only be entertained by some of her award-winning poetry, the showing of these quilts, but you will enjoy a background slide presentation showing the makers and the homes they lived in, some of which were sod houses.
