The past few years Laurie and I have traveled to a variety of places to visit the quilt museums in USA.
International Quilt Museum, Lincoln, NE
Virginia Quilt Museum, Harrisonburg, VA
Paducah, Kentucky
Winterset, Iowa
New England Quilt Museum, Lowell, Massachusetts
TX Quilt Museum, LaGrange, TX.
Missouri Quilt Museum, Hamilton, Missouri
I loved them all, not favoring one more than another. (One of them certainly comes in at the bottom of the list though. Any guesses which one?) I know there are many more, but can you recommend any? I'm not interested in seeing a museum with only newly made modern quilts. If that is part of an exhibit and the museum still has antique quilts, I'd love to hear your personal experience.
Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThe New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, MA is very nice, especially if you like antique quilts. Our quilt guild went there as a group about 6-7 years ago. It's about a 2 hour drive for us. They do change the quilts that are on display since they are on loan for only so many months. Contact them before visiting to get some descriptions of their current display. I have yet to visit the other museums. Thanks for your information and interesting blog!
