Goshen College Music Center’s Hershberger Art Gallery (June 4 through September 16) and Harold and Wilma Good Library Gallery (September 23 through November 18, 2018.)

 

A collection of local Amish folk art is on display in the Music Center’s Hershberger Art Gallery to Sepember 16, 2018. The collection will then be remounted in the Harold and Wilma Good Library Gallery from September 23 through November 18, 2018.

 

The exhibit presents a wide range of domestic folk arts gathered from Old Order Amish communities in primarily Elkhart and LaGrange counties in north central Indiana. The exhibit includes items such as quilts, comforters, clothing, dolls, rugs, pincushions and sewing caddies, as well as several rare pieces of paint-decorated furniture － a chest of drawers, blanket chest, one-drawer stand － dating from as early as 1871.

Thanks to a generous gift, these objects were purchased from the collection of David Pottinger of Goshen, of materials collected beginning in 1977. Other Amish collections from Pottinger are held by the Museum of American Folk Art, Indiana State Museum and Fort Wayne Museum of Art.

“Kaleidoscope: Kentucky Museum Quilts,” Kentucky Museum, Bowling Green, Kentucky, through December 18, 2018

April 22, 2018

Kaleidoscope showcases thirty rarely seen or previously unseen quilts. Made in twenty-eight different patterns, they range in age from the 1820s through the 1970s. While many of these quilts illustrate high levels of artistry, others are less accomplished in their execution. Regardless of the skill level involved, they illustrate many of the quiltmaking  techniques and patterns represented in the collection and are part of the rich cultural tradition of quiltmaking in Kentucky that extends back more than 200 years.
One of the highlights of the exhibition is the first public display in Bowling Green of the circa 1880 Kentucky Sun Quilt.  The symbol of the Kentucky Quilt Project’s landmark exhibit and book, Kentucky Quilts: 1800-1900, the acquisition of this remarkable textile was made possible by the generosity of the Board of the Kentucky Quilt Project as well as monetary contributions from the Board of the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society, the Ridley Group of Wells Fargo Group, KHQS members, and numerous private citizens.
See more examples from the Kentucky Museum’s quilt collection in KenCat, our online catalog.

Connect Binding Ends Easily

April 14, 2018

I never get the two meeting ends of the quilt binding sewn together  to lay flat and fit “just right.”  I have tried  different ways to do this.  I just bought the binding tool  that will help me accomplish this very easily.

For the instructions, go to YouTube’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex2PajesRvU    

There is also another YouTube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c0RFHCmtKI

With these as a guide and the binding tool, connecting the binding ends is a piece of cake.

“Uncovered: the Ken Burns Collection” The International Quilt Study Center & Museum, Lincoln, Nebraska, January 19 – May 13, 2018

January 12, 2018

Uncovered: the Ken Burns Collection
will be at The International Quilt Study Center & Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, January 19 through May 13, 2018.

Ken Burns loves antique American quilts. Displayed alongside eloquent, anecdotal thoughts about quilts, collecting, and art and authenticity, Burns’ quilts function as his films do; they spark dialogue and remind people—he hopes—of their shared humanity.

Exhibited are twenty-eight quilts from the collection of about seventy-five quilts that Burns has acquired since the mid-seventies.

“Elegant Geometry: British and American Mosaic Patchwork Quilts” The Taft Museum of Art, Cincinnati, Ohio, through January 21, 2018

December 26, 2017

Hexagon Quilt , possibly made in Kentucky, about 1860–1880. Collection of International Quilt Study Center & Museum, University of Nebraska– Lincoln, 1997.007.0598      Photo is the Museum’s.

Elegant Geometry: British and American Mosaic Patchwork Quilts
is at  The Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati, Ohio,   through January 21, 2018

For nearly 300 years, quilt makers have created a  range of designs using the versatile mosaic patchwork technique. The 19 quilts in Elegant Geometry highlight mosaic quilts. Mosaic quilters wrapped and sewed cloth around identically sized, geometrically shaped paper pieces. They then stitched the tiny units together into intricate patterns. The earliest quilt in the exhibition originated in 18th-century England. British colonists brought the technique to the New World, where American women embraced it.

“Lincoln in Quilts: Log Cabins, Flags and Roses” Indiana State Museum, Indianapolis, Indiana until February 19, 2018

November 4, 2017

Lincoln in Quilts: Log Cabins, Flags and Roses is at Indiana State Museum, Indianapolis, Indiana until February 19, 2018.    See some wonderful quilts drawn from several institutions, all in one place. The exhibit evolved because a spectacular silk quilt in the Indiana State Museum’s collection depicting an American flag made with dyed silk campaign ribbons from the 1860 election (which had 4 candidates/parties, one of which was Lincoln!) kept getting cut from their Lincoln exhibits because (since it has to be on a slantboard) it took up too much room. So – it gets its own exhibit!

Joining it are other great quilts from the Museum’s collection, including the  Civil War basket quilt with flags that was used as inspiration in the American Quilt Study group’s basket challenge. Also included is a quilt made by Lincoln’s cousin in 1827 from the Virginia Quilt Museum, one with Lincoln ribbons from Mark Dunn of Moda Fabrics, an embroidered quilt from the American Folk Art Museum, a gorgeous hexie made by an acquaintance of Mary Todd’s in Springfield, a log cabin quilt said to incorporate mourning crape which wrapped the columns of the Indiana Capitol when Lincoln’s funeral train stopped in Indianapolis, and ….the Keckley quilt from Kent State, said to incorporate offcuts of silk from Mary Todd Lincoln’s dresses.  Mary Jane Teeters-Eichacker is the curator.  The exhibit is open until February 19, 2018.

No Crease Lines with this Fold Method

February 18, 2017

To fold a quilt and have no crease lines, Alex Anderson of TheQuiltShow demonstrates how at: http://thequiltshow.com/daily-blog/142-newsletter/24624-want-to-avoid-those-creases-in-your-quilt-alex-shows-you-how?utm_source=Infusionsoft&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2017_01_01_Sunday_Smiles_3&inf_contact_key=d3032b57648513ee09db423d9d84765695872c3177e79aedaa3010cdc10bd011.  This type of quilt folding has been around for some time, but Alex’s demo is a good one.

I roll my art quilts and fold my traditional ones.  I need to start folding my large traditional quilts this way.

“American Quilts: History and Art” Schweinfurth Art Center, Auburn, New York, October 29, 2016 – January 8, 2017

October 21, 2016

American Quilts: History and Art will be at Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, New York, October 29, 2016, through January 8, 2017.

American Quilts: History and Art will feature historical quilts curated by Jonathan Holstein from the collection of the International Quilt Studies Center & Museum in Nebraska.

Jonathan Holstein and his wife Gail van der Hoof began  collecting quilts in the late 1960s, and in 1971 curated the seminal exhibition, Abstract Design in American Quilts, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.  Their collection went to the International Quilt Study Center and Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska.  Their exhibitions here and abroad, along with their writing and lecturing, furthered both the appreciation of American quilts as significant designed objects, and encouraged the now-international art quilt movement.

Photos are the Art Center’s.

Tokyo Quilt Festival 2016

February 9, 2016

Here are photos of quilts from the Tokyo Quilt Festival 2016 in Tokyo, Japan.Tokyo Great Quilt Festival 2016

You can see photos here: https://okanarts.com/tokyo-quilt-festival-2016/

and more at Jonelle Patrick’s blog: /http://jonellepatrick.me/2016/01/28/tokyo-quilt-show-international-2016/

Speaking of landscape quilts, a few artists have pioneered completely new techniques of stitchery. This one is made of THOUSANDS of cloth snippets, quilted onto tulle, then sewed into a quilt. The photo really can't do it justice – IRL it was astoundingly painterly and quilt-y at the same time. ("??" by ??)

People have asked me what will happen to the judging program and the Masterpiece Quilt program.  Their certified judges have formed  National Association of Certified Quilt Judges, which  will continue with  professional quilt judging, and they will also be managing the Masterpiece Quilt program.

December 29, 2015 
Dear NQA Members and NQA Chapters: 

As we approach 2016 and the final dissolution of The National Quilting Association, Inc., I want to share with you the steps taken by the Board. 

 1. The Grant Committee reviewed grant applications and selected 16 grant recipients who received a total of $31,390.  Those funds were restricted by donors for the Grant Program. Projects covered a range of community service, educational efforts and preservation activities. 
2. The National Association of Certified Quilt Judges has been formed to carry on the tradition of excellence in professional quilt judging.  They will also be managing the Masterpiece Quilt program. Their new website is up and can be found at www.nacqj.com.  Many thanks to the NQA Certified Judges whose efforts established a new organization that will continue to offer this valuable service to quilters and quilt guilds. 
3. The Quilt Alliance has agreed to take on support of National Quilting Day.  There will soon be details on their website (http://www.allianceforamericanquilts.org) celebrating this global day that recognizes the special art form that is quilting.  Make note:  March 19, 2016! 
 4. Historical records of NQA are being donated to the University of Nebraska – Lincoln Libraries. These materials will be housed in the Quilt Collections of the Archives and Special Collections Department.  Once archived, they will be available to those interested in reviewing the materials for research and teaching purposes. 
5. We have taken the steps necessary to file for dissolution of the organization with the State of Maryland as that is where NQA was originally incorporated.  

Several of you have asked about obtaining a refund of dues paid prior to the decision to dissolve the organization. We regret that we can not make any refunds as the orderly close of NQA necessitated meeting outstanding financial obligations. 

Many thanks to all of those who, through the years, worked so hard to share the art of quilting with so many through NQA’s programs.  A special thanks to the current Board, all of whom did their very best to sustain NQA, something we unfortunately were unable to accomplish.  Despite that, we know that the future of quilting is in good hands – yours. 
Sincerely, 
Margaret Powers

Acting President

NQA

beach house blues

Beach House Blues by Caryl Schuetz

NINETEEN STARS: QUILTS OF INDIANA’S PRESENT AND PAST, begins the Evansville Museum’s celebration of Indiana’s upcoming Bicentennial. The theme is drawn from the 19 stars depicted in the state flag that commemorate Indiana’s position as the 19th state to join the Union.

Stars were favored quilt patterns in the 19th and 20th centuries and appeared in many variations. The 19 historic quilts in the exhibition span 150 years of Indiana quiltmaking from the 1830s to the 1980s and were selected from the collection of the Indiana State Museum.

The 19 contemporary works, which were created specifically for this exhibition by some of Indiana’s outstanding quilt artists, incorporate the star theme in a number of ways, from overt to illusory. The artists’ techniques vary widely, from traditional piecework and appliqué to improvisational collage, layering, digital media or richly textural thread painting.

“The Inspiring Art of Quilting: Piecing Past & Present” Friday, November 13, 2015, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM at The Stutz Business and Arts Center, Indianapolis, Indiana

The Inspiring Art of Quilting: Piecing Past & Present

When and Where:
Friday, November 13, 2015 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM
at The Stutz Business and Arts Center, main floor
Bearcat alley, 212W 10th st, Indianapolis, IN 46202

Special Venue Instructions: Street parking available on Senate Ave., 11th Street, and Capitol Ave. Enter the Stutz from the 11th Street entrance along “Bearcat Alley.”
Presenter(s):
College Mentors for Kids, Threads of Time, Freetown Village, Inc, Katie Clayton, Carolyn Mazloomi, Caryl Schuetz

Cost:
Free

Event Description:Listen, see, and do during an evening of discovery involving dreams, quilting, and stories.

Fabric, sewing, and quilting are literally interwoven into our history, but rarely considered “important.” But quilts are more than just blankets we sleep and dream under—they are a record of family history, stories, and events. Sometimes they are even an expression of abstract design. This event invites guests to see and learn how early hand-sewing transformed the practical art of quilting into a vibrant and unique art form.

Listen to historic interpreters from Freetown Village as they share tales about the history of African American quilting. Explore quilting displays—and even the Stutz Artist’s Gallery invitational fiber arts exhibition, Make Your Mark: Dream—and listen to a presentation of “The West was Won with Needle and Thread” by Threads of Time Creative Sewing and Retreat Center. Internationally recognized African American historian and folklorist Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi, as well as experts from The Quilters’ Hall of Fame, will also speak. Professional quilters from Quilting by the Stitch will provide a hands-on quilt-block experience that will be assembled into a special Spirit & Place quilt. College Mentors for Kids will display pieced fashions the youth created. Guests are even invited to bring their own quilts for oral appraisal by AQS certified quilt appraiser, Caryl Schuetz.

Walk-ins welcome. RSVPs requested.

Presented by Stutz Artists Association and Quilting by the Stitch.

This exhibition celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry’s first art quilt in 1983. The thirty-six quilts on display, all of which are new, revisit many of the themes of her past, award-winning work, and also introduce some new themes. Although there is diversity in style, the uniform size of the quilts (30″ x 30″) pulls the exhibition together visually.
