Bosque County Chapter Ladies Quilt for
Jens Ringness Project Raffle

The ladies of Bosque County Chapter of Norwegian Society of Texas have been busy the past several months preparing a quilt for the Jens Ringness Project Fund. Designed and pieced by Betty Tindall, with the aid of Charlene Tergerson and Geneva Finstad, the feathered star quilt in country blues, yellows, and greens, accents a picture of the Rock Church in bluebonnet season, photographed by member Jan Wallace.

Members of NST were assisted by friends from the community in quilting. Members—Charlene Tergerson, Geraldine Jenson, Mary Ann Stokely, Evelyn Smith, Ann Paulson, and Betty Tindall—were joined by Sudie Knudson, Jo Olson, Dorothy Hollingsworth, and Elsie Phillips to complete the quilt in 72 1/2 quilting hours. On both days the ladies quilted, lunch was served by members Frances Seljos, Mildred Patterson, Ruth Shipley, and Billie Dunnahoe.

The chapter will be selling chances on the quilt beginning in early April and continuing through the rest of the year. The quilt will be shown and chances sold at Viking Fest, Syttende Mai, Septemberfest, and the Lutefisk Supper. It will also be on display at the chapter booth in the Clifton Antique Mall. In addition, each chapter will receive a packet of tickets and information that members and friends may purchase. Chances are $3.00 per ticket, or four for $10.00. All proceeds from the quilt will be donated to the Jens Ringness Project Fund, and are non-taxable donations.
