Exploring the National Quilt Museum
Exploring the National Quilt Museum. A Visual Delight
Well, I never knew there was a museum for quilts. But a museum it should be because the quilts were amazing. I have never seen anything like them.
This museum is in Paducah Kentucky. Each quilt has a card next to it with a bar code. You can scan it and read all about the making of the quilt. You can see how long it took to make and where it was from.
This one below is my favorite quilt, the picture does not do it justice. It has hundreds of sequence on it that just sparkle no matter what angle you view the quilt at.
I am not a quilt maker, I do not have the patience for that at all. I truly enjoyed looking at these as did my husband. Amazing what people can make.

I love those quilts.When I had cancer, I spent days with other patients in the wards, talking, writing, reading but there was this one woman who spent her time quilting; I watched her fascinated at the magic she wove —
Amazing isn’t it, the art they create making a quilt. A lost art now a days with the younger generation. ☺️
sad 🙁
I bet this was great but how can you have a mueseum to an art that is ever changing and no two are alike? 🤣😎🙃
So true, and come to find out, a lot of these are made with machines. But still pretty cool to look at.
Machines. How is it art if it’s made by Machines?🤣😎🙃
Yes, I know. ☺️
Yes, that is painstaking, but beautiful work. My great-grandmother made beautiful quilts. We had two of them for years. Plus, they had ducks and geese, so she used to make feather ticks as well. I had one on my bed as a kid and something ripped and here were feathers all over. My mom was able to repair it but it eventually got flattened out.
Awesome inspiration!
Thank you very much ☺️
Beautiful pieces – the makers of these quilts are true artists!
Yes they are , they were extroidanary.
Fantastic, Sandra. I can agree with you on that last one, it is my favorite too
I just couldn’t not get a good photo it to see it sparkle. It is amazing work though.
