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.

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.

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
When and Where: Cost: 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.

At the Indiana State Museum, a special exhibit, 19 Stars: Quilts of Indiana’s Present and Past, opened June 13, featuring a collection of contemporary and historic quilts and will run through October 4, 2015.
Currently, many Indiana quilt artists have been inspired by the upcoming Indiana Bicentennial to create quilts with themes featuring 19 stars because Indiana became the nineteenth state in 1816 and also because the inclusion of stars in patterns also was a favorite of quilters during the 1800s and 1900s.
The exhibit, incorporating the star theme, consists of 19 historic quilts from the Museum’s Collection and 19 contemporary quilts, most of which were created and made for the exhibit. Mary Jane Teeters-Eichacker is the curator.

“The Mighty Misty Monster”: Moby-Dick Embroidered Narratives is at the Nantucket Whaling Museum on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts through November 2015, presented by the Nantucket Historical Association.
Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick and its endless possibilities for interpretation inspired artist Susan Boardman’s latest series of embroidered narratives. Drawing on the tradition of illuminated manuscripts, Boardman has adapted the techniques of seventeenth-century raised embroideries to depict richly animated whaleboats, frothy waves, proud ships, and noble, mighty whales, is the write up on the website. http://www.nantuckethistoricalassociation.com/exhibits/index.html
Susan Boardman’s embroidery and creativity are exquisite. There are seventeen scenes from Herman Melville’s classic Moby-Dick. You can see them online at: http://www.susanboardman.com/GalleryMoby-Dick.php
I read the article about the exhibit in “Nantucket Today” magazine, Spring issue 2015.

Young Man’s Fancy c. 1900
The National Quilt Museum’s curator, Judy Schwender, sought an exemplary collection of traditional nine patch quilts. The Antique Nine Patch quilt collection is an excellent complement to the modern twist New Quilts from an Old Favorite: Nine Patch, which is at The National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky. Each antique quilt sets apart as a unique identifier of the various ways a nine patch quilt is pieced and quilted.
This turn of the twentieth century four patch nine patch is in the exhibit with the Nine Patch Quilts. I purchased the quilt, which looks new, at an antique show years ago.

Contemporary quilters look to the past for inspiration; the Museum’s new exhibit for 2015 showcases work from the book 500 Traditional Quilts. “Selections From the Book 500 Traditional Quilts” features thirty-six works included in the recent release, which was juried by Museum co-founder Karey Bresenhan.
The exhibit will fill all three galleries in the Museum with contemporary quilts featuring traditional patterns, techniques, styles, and quilting methods that harken back to the earliest days of the art form. “Selections From the Book 500 Traditional Quilts” will be on view until March 29, 2015.

“These quilts are the crème de la crème of traditional quiltmaking today. If you missed seeing the exhibit at International Quilt Festival, then you have another chance to see many extraordinary selections from this new book,” adds Museum curator Dr. Sandra Sider.

I am posting about this exhibit, even though there are only a few more days, because this exhibit sounds like fun! View the beautiful and whimsical Cow themed quilts created by members of the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild. The quilters used their imagination, running like a herd on a mission for greener pastures, to create their artwork. Every quilt has a story.

One of the most important contributions a quilter can make to their community is growing as a quilter and sharing their experience. She did this through the quilting and appliqué classes she offered over her career, the patterns she designed, and more.

I just learned that Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany, Indiana, will have an exhibit of Penny Sisto’s work beginning October 24, 2014, through January 10, 2015. www.carnegiecenter.org
I love her work, and have her “Madonna and Child,” which I acquired many years ago. I see the compassion in their quilted eyes and feel the warmth of their spirit… just as Sisto said on her web site about some owners of her quilts seeing and feeling.
Penny’s web site is http://www.pennysisto.com, where you can see photos of her work in her gallery section. You may see the compassion in their quilted eyes and feel the warmth of their spirit, too. This photo is of “Turquoise Belt,” one of her pieces from the Heartbeat 2011 series.

Traditions Made Modern – Full Circle Sketches from Life is at Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts in Cedarburg, Wisconsin until October 24, 2014
Victoria Findlay Wolfe – “Greatest Possible Trust”
Victoria Findlay Wolfe was called a “mod-quilt celebrity” by the Wall Street Journal, yet her work is rooted in tradition. She took the traditional double wedding ring pattern and gave it a modern interpretation. She has now created a series of 12 double wedding ring quilts, each employing a new interpretation of that traditional pattern.

 The Colorful World of Kaffe Fasset is showing at American Museum in Britain located at Claverton Manor in Bath through November 2, 2014. The exhibit spans his fifty years working as an artist and colorist. Over one hundred works of textile art – quilts, knitwear, needlepoint, and beading are on display. This is the grandest show of my career – every item is part of an intricate opera of colour. I have always wanted this approach to my work, but other museum designers and curators have steered me to a rather mixed approach in my exhibitions.This show is so unique to me because it explains in a visceral way my growing obsession with the power of colour. My hope and conviction is that this exhibition at the American Museum in Britain will show the grey and beige clad young the sensual thrill of pure colour. I still feel vital! I want my message to come across in this mood altering show – I’m flying high on colour.This show is closer to my desires than ever before in my many, many presentations around the world.(Kaffe Fassett, 12 March 2014)

The result is a colorful display stretching 16 feet long and open to the public for viewing during library hours into January.

“Seasonal Palette” is a SAQA juried exhibit that I saw in Cincinnati, Ohio, last Spring at the International Quilt Festival. I fell in love with the awesome exhibit! Currently it is showing at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky through December 3, 2013.
It’s a celebration of the seasons from the Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA). This exhibit showcases the work of 37 artists. These 37 works, all sized at 78″ tall and 32″ wide, create an exhibit that moves us through the seasons using texture, light, color and masterful design. Visitors can enjoy the richness of the personal connection to the artist through their documented experiences located at the center of the exhibit. It was the addition of the documented work that was so exciting to my friend and me, as we looked at one piece, then went to the table with the notebooks, samples, etcetera, that the artist had made for her piece. Then on to the next quilt on the wall…back to the table to investigate “How did she do that?” “Ohhhh…”
SAQA even has a book surprisingly called “Seasonal Palette” with photos of the pieces in the exhibit. I had to have one.
Info about the exhibit at the National Quilt Museum: http://www.quiltmuseum.org/current-exhibits.html

at the Illinois State Museum in downtown Springfield, Illinois.
We went to Springfiled, Illinois, Friday to see the exhibit at the Illinois State Museum. It was a three and a quarter hour drive for us from the NW side of Indy, an easy drive.
The exhibit is very well done! There are many quilts with detailed write ups for every one. There are also other CW artifacts in the exhibit, which my husband and son enjoyed as well as the quilts.
I recommend that you see this exhibit if you possibly can. Lunch at Boone’s Saloon, across the street from the north side of the museum was a treat.
This was my original post:
“With equal vigor of the enlisting Union soldiers, loyal Illinois women organized to support soldiers on the field and in the hospital, as they braced themselves for the changes in family and community life that the war would bring.
This exhibition features quilts, Civil War military supplies and weapons, a regimental drum, household artifacts and stories of women’s work and struggles during the Civil War, the Museum’s web site states. The exhibit, as of this date, opens on February 3, 2013, and runs through September 8, 2013.
Can’t wait to see it!

A friend and I went to the Festival for the preview Wednesday night and back to the show yesterday morning. The show is wonderful! The quilts are fabulous! Driving on I-74 is so easy; no heavy traffic on this freeway.
There aren’t crowds of people for the preview, making it easy to see all the quilts and photograph them without having to wait to get a close up view or an open view to take a photo. That’s why I like to see all the exhibits first, and then go shopping. It’s still a difficult decision, “Should I see the quilts or should I shop at the vendors first?” Hmmm……
If you haven’t been, I strongly recommend that you attend this show. You won’t be disappointed!
Go to this link to see quilts from the “Tactile Architecture” special exhibit at the show: http://www.quilts.com/home/galleryViewer2.php?txtfile=/gallery/sqf13/gallery.php?id=001
