When Lynn G. Kough moved to Arizona with her family in 1996, she was already well-known in the quilting world as a respected author, teacher, and lecturer. As an Arizonan, she only increased her involvement in the quilting community.

Lynn is a tireless volunteer who does not seem to have the word “no” in her vocabulary. She served on the Board of Directors of the National Quilting Association from 2003 - 2007, including as its President from 2004 - 2006. She served on the Board of Directors for Arizona Quilters Guild from 2008 - 2010, including being its President from 2009 - 2010. Additionally, she was a Founding Board Member of Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame from 2007 - 2009.

Extremely knowledgeable about quilt show management, Lynn served as the Annual Quilt Show Director for the National Quilting Association from 2002 - 2004, also acting as that show’s Vendor Coordinator from 2002 - 2009. She also chaired the Arizona Quilters Guild Show from 2000 - 2003.

Lynn serves the quilting community as a professional quilt judge, judging quilts locally, regionally and nationally. She has published articles and patterns in American Quilter and The Quilting Quarterly magazines. She continues to teach classes locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally on a variety of quilting techniques and skills.

In accepting her induction into Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame, Lynn suggested that she was born under a “lucky star.” She believes herself lucky to have found and married her soulmate, Alan; to have been blessed with two wonderful daughters, Anne and Kathryn; to have had the opportunity to travel for and discover lifelong friends through quilting. Arizona and the Arizona quilt community is lucky to have Lynn, her volunteer efforts, and her many talents which enhance quilting in our state
