Council Bluffs, IA – Do you like to quilt or own several old quilts? The Council Bluffs Public Library will be hosting Yvonne Hollenbeck on Tuesday, July 30th at 6:30 p.m. This presentation will be hosted by Yvonne Hollenbeck of South Dakota/NE from the Humanities of both states.

Yvonne Hollenbeck is a poet, songwriter and journalist for the “Farmer-Rancher Exchange.” She lives on a three-generations-old family ranch with her husband, where they raise cattle and horses. Hollenbeck will showcase her collection of family quilts, spanning 140 years, including her own award-winning creations. Poetry about quilts and quilters will be presented throughout the trunk show.
