Paducah or Bust Part 2 from Humble Quilts

We spent Tuesday doing all we could to see everything before the show opened the next morning. 
That included the National Quilt Museum.


I'm just sharing a few photos. They have several wonderful exhibits.

New Quilts From Old Favorites: Roaring Twenties

What a fun theme!










These next few were incredible and unfortunately I didn't get a photo of their tags. 








The use of this fabric and squiggly lines was really effective. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the quilt1

Winterset, Iowa Quilt Museum Photo Heavy! from Humble Quilts

The Iowa Quilt Museum is in Winterset, Iowa. I think this was one of my favorite towns that we visited! The women at the museum were unbelievably friendly and in general everyone in town was pretty pleasant. (we also picked up a couple of cute pieces of clothing and Laurie bought an antique quilt!)

But for the special exhibit at the museum was HOUSES!

A celebration of house quilts! WOW! Each one unique and so wonderful!





We liked this one a lot made from antique quilt blocks.








It was so special to see Wendy's potholder style house quilt at ...

My Visit(s) To The National Quilt Museum from From the Strawberry Patch...

I borrowed the photo (left) from the Internet. When I visited the museum on January 30 it was raining so hard in Paducah that I was NOT posing for a snapshot out front! These photos, below, are from the first time I visited here in 1993. Can you spot the  biggest difference between the two? The museum has undergone a name change! Somehow I missed this occurrence when it happened and it became my

Virtual Quilts: Viewing, Studying and Enjoying Them in New Ways from Repro Quilt Lover

If you belong to a quilt guild, visit quilt exhibits, participate in workshops, take classes, or study quilt history, you have likely had an event canceled or postponed. If you are anything like me it’s been a lot more than one. This has left me wondering how I can fulfill my desire to view quilts and, equally important, to socialize and learn from other quilters. I miss my people! How can I get my quilt fix when everything I used to do is canceled or on hold?

Fortunately, I didn’t have to create the opportunities, I just needed ...
