I was catching up on my email this morning, you know, all that stuff that get's dumped in the "keep, but look at later" file and I came across my quilt of the month email from the International Quilt Study Center and Museum. I have mentioned this before, in a store newsletter, I think, but it bears repeating. This website is a great resource - and you can join the Quilt of the Month Club so the folks at the museum will email you the link to a different amazing quilt in their collection each month. If you participate, you get the opportunity to learn about a huge variety of quilts. In the samples below, click on the quilt to go to the museum link for the quilt. Here is the quilt from this month, March 2012.....a quilt by Jean Ray Laury.
February's quilt was the Wistar family's album quilt - made in 1842-1843.
Here is a quilt by Chris Wolf Edmonds, created in 2001 as part of a "blurred landscape" series, featured in December of 2011.
An in July 2011, the museum featured this quilt by Paulette Peters. The quilt was a finalist in the Great American Quilt contest hosted
by the Museum of American Folk Art in New York City in 1986, which
commemorated the centennial of the Statue of Liberty.
