As a quilter, this was always talked about as the Holy Grail of quilting. I was excited to visit on our way to a family gathering in NC. I was surprised it was so small. My idea of a National Quilt Museum would have some heritage, history and American made quilts. No history at all. They could have early quilts, Civil War quilts, Victorian crazy quilts and Depression flour sack quilts. There are quilts from people from China, Japan etc. Not much in traditional quilts. It felt more like I was at some artsy exhibit. Mostly contemporary with bright colors. I’ve actually seen more quilts displayed at the Missouri State Fair. The more I think about it the more disappointed I am. We got there at opening on a Sunday. Was there a little over an hour. When we were leaving 3 tour buses were unloading. So go early if you’re interested. After that we wanted a bite in town but the local places were closed. Wanted to go to the Hancock fabric place, closed also. So we moved on. I’m glad I didn’t make a special trip just for this.
Easy transaction. Great museum. Easy to purchase the tickets and fast access to the museum. No problems
Amazing quilts. The talent shown was spectacular! Easy entry. Everyone knowledgeable. Very well displayed
Amazing ! I went to the book signing and to see the Tula exhibit and was not disappointed. Tula was gracious and signed many items as Cameron took pictures of us. I was completely star struck! The 20 years of Tula left me speechless, everything was gorgeous. The Janet Stone exhibit was impressive. The fact someone could make a quilt so beautiful. The entire experience was great, I am so glad I went.
It was national quilt day and there were hands on activities. Many quilts looked like art and obviously produced by talented persons
Very interesting. One does not have to be a quilter, or even a sewer, to appreciate the beautiful pieces. This level of quilting is like any other good art work only the medium is fabric, not paint or clay or metal.
I really appreciated the large selection of beautiful quilts. The people who support the museum were very knowledgeable and very dedicated to giving you the best information on the history of the quilts.
I have family that have hand sewn quilts, and I have a great appreciation. I have also made a couple of simple lap quilts. This was on our way from southern Illinois to Nashville and we thought we’d give it a try. Student admission was only 5.00, and my boyfriend got in free for the month of November as a veteran. The price was right and the quilts were amazing. We experienced everything from “art” and functional quilts to tiny quilts for miniature beds. There was something for everyone with an appreciation for detail and creativity. I would recommend for a couple hr break in your travels.
Absolutely worth the trip - lovely grounds, building and the exhibited quilts are breathtaking and inspirational. My husband equally was impressed with the collection.
Anyone who appreciates the art of quilting will enjoy this museum. It houses some incredible pieces from all across the country. The colors, designs and intricate stitch work are awe inspiring. There are four galleries which house different exhibits of various themes. It takes about an hour to go through. This museum is a hidden gem and definately worth the stop!
